Does anybody have 10.5 in the back with nitto 555r 275 40 17. I Know the 315 35 17 look good but I dont want to change my front tires and I thought 35 hieght to the stock hieght 45 of the stock goodyears would not look right. I already ordered the 275 40 17 they are supposed to fit up to a 11 inch wide rim.

8 or 9 inches wide should be fine for 255s

Ryan, Looks good, what offset are your rear wheels?

I"m running Eibach sportlines and I think they would rub on the fender with how far your rims/tires are sticking out if I went with that rear combo

I have sportlines on mine.No problems unless you get the car in a weird angle.Then the tire SLIGHTLY scrapes sometimes.

3 years no issues

I belive they are 27mm offset. I still have stock springs but I am changing that soon...I'm sure you would have no major problem with your setup.

245/45 is EXACTLY the same profile as the 315/35. The lower number 35 or 45 is the percentage of the profile of the tire from its width. Like if you get the 45% of 245 comes out to be 110 and if you do the same (35% of 315) comes out to be the same number.

I have this setup right now, well actually I am waiting for my stoopid friend to get my freaking sumitomo 315/35/17, I already have the bullits 17X10.5 (anthrocite).

One question tho. I have these wheels and I am gonna keep the OEM ones (the ones that come from FORD) in the front. Is there a lot of color difference from the one from Ford and the wheel replicas one. I can notice it, maybe because Im too picky. Ryan can you notice the difference?
