Ditto that, the only problem with 17x11 is your limited choice of tires. you have Nitto 555, 555R, the Goodyear F1-D3 and everything else is a track tire. Those 3 really are enough to cover most of your needs though. BFG KD is on ebay closeout as well, that's a choice for a limited time.

The 315/35 tire is too wide for the factory 9.5" wide wheel. The sidewalls will have a noticable bow to them and it could impact handling.
And with the car lowered, you might even see some tire/fender lip contact on hard bumps.

The Sumitomos wont bulge as they are a narrower 315 as they measure from a different point.
