I put 315s on a 16x8. Not sure why it would matter too much being a 17. 315-75-16 = 35-12.50.15
That was from GoodYear.

It doesnt matter how tall the rim is....ie: 16/17/18/19/20 +.......but the "width".....
now im mostly used to fitting tires on my sports cars.....whereas the only time I would use a 315 width tire would be on an 11 inch wide rim (I have them on my Z06 on the rear....19x11) but obviously sports cars look for a stretched tire over the rim for handling purposes.
I am also well aware of what you can get away with on different rim widths. I just wasnt sure how "safe" or conventional a small 8 inch wide rim would be with a large 315 wide tire....there would sure be a lot of bulging from the sides. ALOT.
