I tired a search for this. I'm going to be using ranger axles. Will take quad shocks off if need be. My exhaust is dumped. Need to buy wheels now.

This is my plan: Front: 17x9 w/ 255/45's 95 spindles
Rear: 17x10 w/ 275/40's Ranger axles

Will this work? Do these tire sizes look decent? My car is also lowered 1.5"

If you can make those axles work and fit a 17x10... go with a 315 tire rather than a 275... 275 look good on a stock 16x7

315 won't fit, I have 275/40/17's on a 17x9" rim on the back of my car... might have to roll the fender

HOLY CHIT, y would u want 275 on a 7" wheel?

275 might be a lil skinner then the wheel but u can make it work but i would rather roll the fender and put a 315 on a 10" wheel and look sicker then the 275's

245/45 up front
275/40 or 315/35 out back

should work.....i just had some 275's on both the front and back with minimum rubbing on a '90. They were on some 17x8 tri-bar's....the tires were not brand new tho, and they were Falken's, which seem to run a little small.

Besides using that expensive tool how can I roll my fenders? Would this be a bad way....?.....Cutting slits(relief cuts) in the fender lip and rolling them up with a pair of channel locks? I heard use a baseball bat to roll them but I doubt this will work?

Does anybody rent that tool from Eastwood to properly roll your fenders? Like NAPA.
