a 315 on a 9.5" wide wheel is not a good idea.

you can get away with a 295, though.

on that smaller rim a 315 tire will not fit property. The mid part of the tire will be drawn up in the middle making for a smaller contact patch. $.02 deposited

Check on the Tire Rack's web site and bring up the specs on the Michelin Pilot Sports. It will tell you the recommended width range for wheels for each tire size.

on 10.5 z06-sized wheels, sure. you can also get 10.5" thin spoke replicas for the rear to accomodate the wider tires.

i ran those replica wheels for a while.
