Will a 275/40 ZR-17 fit on the rear of a 93 SVT Cobra??

GetSum302 · August 25th, 2007, 02:38 PM

Hey Guys,

Need some help. I have a 93 Mustang SVT Cobra with stock suspension. I've decided to put some new shoes on her in the rear. What is the widest tire that I can use to fit on a 17x9 rim. I've purchase some very nice black lacquer 5-star 17x9 rims and with my Vortech pushin 12psi I need more bite than the stock 245/45 can provide. I read somewhere that if I choose to run a 275 that I would have to roll the lip on each fender to ensure it wouldn't rub. Is this true?

I just want to know if it's possible to run a 275/40 on a 17x9 rim.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i have ran 275s before on mine they fit with no problem, and the car is lowered.

yes you can you can actually run even bigger on a 17x9. you can goto 295 if you want. i run 275s and have no rubbing at all.
