I just realized a minor mistake I made with my wheel/tire combo. My wheels (already ordered) are Black Rock Yuma 17x8. The tires I want to use are treadright guard dogs 315/70r17. I was looking at them again and it states wheel width between 8.5-10.5. I've not purchased tires yet, but will that .5 inch be an issue? I'd appreciate any input!

The only issue I foresee is maybe not having the right backspacing on your rims. If the backspacing is 4.5" or less then you should be fine...

New Tires
I just got my tires/wheels installed. Haven't had a chance to take better pics yet but here is one when it was done at the shop.
315/70/17 Goodyear Duratracs. They measure to 34 but I'll count myself in the 35 club anyway.
