Default New pony shoes!

Hey all, I got hooked up with four new tires 2 diff sizes.. I will be having Steeda Ultra light 17X9 wheels and was wondering if either of these will fit.

Goodyear Eagle HP 285/40/17 &
Sumitomo HTR35Z 315/35/17

I only need em to fit the back so no sweat there.. it would be awesome to run some 315 meats out the back.. its still stock 4x4 stance so rubbing there shouldnt be an issue.. Will it fit the rims and will it clear my fenders?

The 285's would fit the rim fine. the 315's won't fit on the rim( too wide). As for rubbing that all depends on back spacing and wheel opening. There's a good chance the'll rub on a tight corner.

A buddy of mine had 275's on a SN95 and they just made it in the wheel opening.

Ok, new plan.. if i keep my stock Falkens (until they wear out) on the Steeda wheels and bolt on the Goodyears on my stock wheels. Anybody know the backspacing of these? If not i'll go measure em tomorrow... what should the backspacing be set at to run a 285?

285's might rub your tailpipes. Not really a big deal My 275's rub my flowmaster 2.5 inch tailpipes.
