If it's going on a fox with 10.5's i would run a 295 no quad and check for rubbing. If you ea t to do it right get a 305 and use a bfh but this is also dependent of what rear you have, offset backs spacing etc

Depends on the brand of tires. Because from what I heard Nitto tires are smaller then other brands. But I used to have on my fox 10.5 rims with 315 Nitto tires. And everything was good no rubbers

You can run some 315/35/17's, though you will need the rear inner fender lips rolled and also you'll have to remove the quadshocks and maybe run spacers depending on your axel housing. If the car is lowered you might run into even more issues. Like svtjavy was saying, the width on brands for 315's varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. With the Nitto 555 series being the narrowest.

I noticed you picked up those 03's with the NT05 fronts and NT05R's outback. The NT05R's(dragradials)are wider than the Nitto555R's by a few centimeters. It shouldnt be a problem for the rear but the 275's in front will rub under a full radius turn, guaranteed.

245's are perfect. You'll be good to go once you put them on. Save the 275's for the rear because you can always put them on after you burn the 315's on back.

10 1/2" rim is basically too big
an 11" tire is all you can get, and a 10 1/2" rim needs an 11 1/2" tire, or it might not seal well
thats if you want correct backspacing

No I don't know them, they're a custom offset/back spacing through True Forged.

I have 275's on my fox they're Toyo Proxes too. 315 is more of a look than a purpose on a fox IMO. Everyone who see's my car from behind say I have some meat.
