Tire Size for 81 mustang

Av8tor · March 2nd, 2011, 11:50 AM

Well im looking into some new tires for my stang and wanted some input. The rims they will be going on are a set of 05+ mustang bullet rims, which are 17x8 with 45mm offset. They are going on an 1981 mustang which will be most likely running some wheel spacers due to the newer style rims, just got a killer deal on them. So what i was curious about is if id be able to fit 275/40/17's in the back of the car. I can roll the fender lip if needed but am just curious if i should spend the money on them. Im going to be running 245/45/17's out front so if the 275's dont fit ill probably just go with the same size all around.

Havent gotten to the point of putting them on yet, the car is a slow moving project right now. But have been told they will fit.
