Best tire size

bens98gt · June 18th, 2011, 04:11 PM

I just got some 17x10.5 dd fr500s and im just wondering which is the best tire size to go with. Ive seen 10.5s with anything from 275s to 335s. i just would like input on what yall think

I would go with 295's personally.

Im also wondering if my 1.25 inch spacers would work with them too.

/\ Thats just for the back right?

MustangGt40th · June 22nd, 2011, 03:56 PM

315's and no spacer

bens98gt · June 22nd, 2011, 10:43 PM

lol of course for the back. and i was wondering about the spacers because i heard they would rub and the tires would stick out. i hope the 315s will be flush with my fenders because i love the look.

It won't stick out of the fender. And shouldnt rub even with you being lowered

315-35-17's on 17x10.5 and 275-40-17's on 17x9
Lowered 2", front tires barely rub when wheel is hard over.

What about 18" by 10 with 315 in the back and 18 by 9 with 275 in the front? Would that be a good choice?

You should have a 10.5" wheel to run 315's
