Will these fit without tubbing?

Calogero6685 · January 1st, 2011, 09:41 AM

Front:
Wheel - Black FR500 Wheel 17x9
Tire - NITTO Extreme Performance NT555 275/40-17

Back:
Wheel - Black Deep Dish FR500 Wheel 17x10.5
Tire - NITTO Extreme Performance NT555 315/35-17

If so, I'm ordering the wheels tomorrow when I get back to Florida, and then the tires in a month.

Theres got to be someone that knows...

It's the same diameter pretty much, but it wouldn't be too wide, would it?

00vabchgt · January 1st, 2011, 06:00 PM

those will fit fine...

Calogero6685 · January 1st, 2011, 06:11 PM

Yes! Thank you!

Also, since I'm gonna wait for the tires, how fat can I really go?

I think I'm going to love them.

uhhh unless the mach one is different, i have nitto 555 255's on the front, and they scrub just a little. I wouldn't go any wider than that. I still had the widest front tire at supercar sensation, anything wider than that REALLY follows crap in the road... mine's already pretty bad about it

I would go with 315s but if you get the fenders rolled you can fit 335s.

why 17s?

Calogero6685 · January 2nd, 2011, 01:57 PM

Only size that they offered 10.5" rims for FR500's.

Do you have 18" or larger? If so then that's why.

drazga97 · January 3rd, 2011, 01:07 PM

rather have 18x9/18x10 than 17x9/17x10.5 or you can go 3 piece and do 18x9/18x10.5 or 11

I have that very combination on my Mach 1, except the tires are MT ET Streets on the rear and Summitomo HTRZ on the front, and they fit just fine.
