Need tire suggestions for 17x8 wheels.

Wertzy · January 21st, 2007, 11:55 PM

Alright guys. I'm going to be buying some new 17x8's for the Stang and I am totally lost on what size to get. What size do you guys suggest I run? I don't want to roll my fenders or anything so don't ask. lol

Thanks in advance.

245/45ZR17 This tire size fits pritty well, It does rub in the front fendors when I turn the wheel all the way to one side. I recomend the Nitto extreme NT 555 tire, they are a traction a and temp a tire and they hold up really good, I have had mine for about two years now and they are still really good. They have a lot of traction

BFG KD, KDW, and KDWS tires are all good tires as well, especially for daily drivers..

i went with 17x8 bullits found awesome deal on ebay and went with255/50/17 back and 245/45/17 in front cut a little to much out of my springs and it rubbed so i'm putting in another set so as long as you don't do as i did they're fine also you can put bump stops on your rack to keep from rubbing when you turn the wheel.my tires are zeon have a nice agressive tread and they're not z rated i think it's w in the back and m in the front got em from tire rack about 90.00 a piece.

Yeh...Considerably good traction on dry pavement as well as that good traction in water for that extra sense of security should you need it. They scream daily driver tires all the way...
