245's on 17x9's? 275's on 17x10.5's?

SDYC00GT · March 3rd, 2009, 04:30 PM

Is that too narrow of a tire for a 17x9? The only other option is a 275/40, but I'm getting that for the back wheel which is 17x10.5?

buddyantunez1 · March 3rd, 2009, 04:31 PM

it can fit but looks way to narrow. almost like stretching. best size for a 9'' is a 275 and a 10.5'' is a 315

moosenuk17 · March 3rd, 2009, 04:34 PM

315 on 10.5's

SDYC00GT · March 3rd, 2009, 04:41 PM

well the tires I want don't come in 315's, damn, maybe I should just get 17x9's all around.

the only options I'm seeing for 315's under $200 are nitto drags, and sumitomo htrz which i've heard are shit. lots more options in 275's

Tried looking anywhere other than american muscle?

mrsinister2424 · March 3rd, 2009, 04:57 PM

Yeah.... but they're 315's...

ajm · March 3rd, 2009, 05:05 PM

bfg,goodyear,kuhmo,mt street radials..just to name a few that make a 315/35/17 theres options out there you just have to find them

03SuperchargedGT · March 3rd, 2009, 05:16 PM

go with a 275/40 and a 315/35 you will not regret it. its looks really good

goren813 · March 3rd, 2009, 05:20 PM

I say wide front tire pulls too much, if you're around nasty roads I'd keep that in mind. I run 245's on 9" wheels in front and wish mine wern't even that wide, they look great though.

mustang_gtr_99 · March 3rd, 2009, 05:20 PM

Go with 315's for the rear. I made the mistake of 275's at first and this is what it looked like on my 10.5's. I now have the 315 nitto's in back and 275 on my 18X9's up front

moosenuk17 · March 3rd, 2009, 05:23 PM

i made the mistake

lookin to put 305's on 9"rims

mustang_gtr_99 · March 3rd, 2009, 05:26 PM

275's look fine on the 9's. Just not the 10.5's

moosenuk17 · March 3rd, 2009, 05:28 PM

must have wide tires

mustang_gtr_99 · March 3rd, 2009, 05:31 PM

Yah, this was like 3 years ago but I got it from the shop and I looked down at the rim and was like WTF. There was this atrocious gap/lip where the tire didnt quite fill the rim all the way.

moosenuk17 · March 3rd, 2009, 05:36 PM

haha

SDYC00GT · March 3rd, 2009, 05:48 PM

i checked AM, DTD, and TR, for under $200/tire it was slim pickin'....thanks though, :thumbup:

Thanks guys, not sure what I'm gonna do

casper gt · March 3rd, 2009, 08:21 PM

I wouldn't believe all the hipe, I had sumitomo's on my car a couple of years ago & they were fine, I would buy them again with no problem (as a matter of fact I have them on the front of my car now, nitto d/r on the rear though)

limited · March 3rd, 2009, 08:34 PM

My factory rims are 17x9,factory tire size was 245/45/17. Largest recomended size was 275/40/17 which I have(on rear) and looks good.
