double checking is always good - tires


Ok so I'm on the tirerack.com and i'm ready to place an order for tires. I just wanted to make sure that the tires i want are gonna fit my STOCK wheels. I have the bullitt 17x8 and i want to get the Sumimoto 275/40/17 for the fronts. My car has stock suspension but I'm also getting 315 on 10.5" wheels. So my question is... 275/40/17 will 100% fit my wheels, correct???? And I'm not gonna have any issues what so ever. Please respond soon, and Your help is much appriciated!!!

they will fit the front, but on an 8 inch rim they are going to look pretty meaty up there. I would say 255's if you are set on going wider than 245.... thats just my opinion

Im not sure if a 275 will fit on an 8" rim... maybe a 265. 315s Are fine on 10.5s though.... Are you sure you need that big of a tire
