tire size.

CobraStang161 · January 7th, 2007, 09:41 PM

Ok, i just picked up a 2000 gt, and i was wondering, what is the largest size tires that can go on the back? I was thinking of getting 245 in the front and 275's in the back, what do you think, would 315's look too gordy?

well thats the thing, they came with the ugly ass alloy wheels, and i plan on getting the bullitt wheels for them, i was think 17x9 in the back with 275 tires, and 17x8 in the front with 245 tires. I was wondering if 17x10.5 on 315s would be too big for the rear.

WAVEBYE · January 7th, 2007, 09:52 PM

nah go with the 17x10.5 in the back with a 295 or 315 and 17x9 in the front with a 265. 265's fit square and flush on a 9" rim

Keegan_Vann · January 7th, 2007, 09:53 PM

heck no get the 17x10.5 in the rear and get 315's they look sweet. Also get the 17x9 for the front w 255's in front. That is what most people will tell you on here. Look at my car I have 275's on the 17x10.5 bullitt's and they bubble a little I am about to get the 315's next week. Sumitomo for the front and rear.

anyone have any pictures of 315s in the rear? Will i need any special brackets for these tires, and i dont need extended fenders for these right?

WAVEBYE · January 7th, 2007, 09:58 PM

nah these cars have like 8.75in clearence from the studs to the inner fender with the quad shocks removed. i'm gonna get a 12in rim and i measured it i'm gonna have to have a 9in backspacing with 3in on the lip but 9in of backspacing is gonna be reeeeeal close.

So on mine i should be fine with just mounting it? What tires should i get for the front, 245s or 275s. Place im ordering them from doesnt have 265

you will probably want to either flip your quad shocks or remove them completely.

Keegan_Vann · January 7th, 2007, 10:25 PM

Yeah this is true I don't know of an all season 315

03GT · January 7th, 2007, 10:28 PM

look i would highly recommend going with the 10.5 inch rim in the rear with the 315. and a 245 in the front. cause i didnt go with it and now im havn to go back and do it. so i would recommend it. but it also depeneds on what u need them for and what not. if ur not going to race it alot then u dont need it. uknow.

WAVEBYE · January 7th, 2007, 10:36 PM

245 on a 9in rim? i've got 265s on my 18x9 saleens and they fit perfect.

if they didn't have 265's i would go with 275s then

they have 245s for for 17x8" rims

WAVEBYE · January 7th, 2007, 10:59 PM

yeah on a 8in. fine, but not on a 9in rim. which is what i think 03gt said.

Danny01gt · January 7th, 2007, 11:08 PM

i know that atleast 275's will fit on the bullit and mach 1 rims, i dunno how wide they are but i think 275 is the largest you can go on a stock wheel. I dunno what will fit your wheel. But if you having to get new wheels i would also get like a 10 inch rim and mount some 315's cuz it wont really cost you that much more anyway.

WAVEBYE · January 7th, 2007, 11:11 PM

well, convert 275mm to inches.

yea on an 8" I'm getting 245, for 9" i'm gunna get 275s.

CobraStang161 · January 8th, 2007, 03:14 PM

Ok, since I'm really bent on buying the 315's I have to take the quad shocks out? What do the quad shocks do? If they are meant to be there ill just leave them.

acmillr · January 8th, 2007, 03:16 PM

You don't have to take the quads off to put 315's on....
