yea the bullits were okay but i wanted to change some stuff up for the spring, get a new look going + too many peple got em anyways. i forgot the tire sizes cuz i sold the set on CL the otha day lol. 315 seems to be the usual, but 335 wouldnt work?

335 will probably fit, remember some tires run narrower than others even though they are the same size. Nittos always run narrower than the same size in Goodyear or BFG. You should probably do longer wheel studs with a rim that wide. You may not be able to get the lug to grab enough of the threads. I run 17x10.5's w/ BFG 315/35/17 KDs. No rubbing anywhere. I run 3/8" spacer with longer wheel studs. I only needed the spacer to clear the IRS bolt.

do a 315/35/17 out back and a 275/40/17 or 245/45/17 up front. this way you will have the same size diameter for both front and back of 25.7"

a 255/45/17 will yield a 26"

you will prob be able to find the 315 easier and much cheaper than the 335 as the 315 is a bit more common
