17x8.5 rim, tire sizes?
im looking at some 275/40/17 for my 17x8.5 rims. are these tires too wide for the wheels? Or would the optimal size be like a 255/45 ?
Thanks guys. |

hell no, 275's will look good, they fit perfect on 17x9's, 8.5's will look good too. I have 265's on my fronts (9") and wish i would have got 275s.

I wouldn't go that big on the front, I have rubbed mine a couple times.
