255 45 17 On 17x9 Rim? Whats That Look Like On The Rear?

Hi Guys, can yall post pics of this?

I know ideal size is 275 40 17 and 255 40 17, but cause of my knees I dont wanna go that low.

Suspension is stock height, I dont believe it will rub in back, I just dont want it to look too huge back there.

Thanks yall

Actually ideal size would be 255/45/17 as that's what Ford put on the 94-95 Cobra...although with 17x8 rims. Ford put 245/45/17's on the other models with 17x8 wheels.

Diameter is not that much different

275/40/17 = 25.7"
245/45/17 = 25.7"
255/45/17 = 26"
255/40/17 = 25"

Hows it look? I'll know in a couple hours I guess. I'm putting 255/45/17's on my car out back with 17x8's as we speak

Here's a 255/45/17 on a 17x8 sn95 rim with sn95 rear axles. I'd venture to say on a 17x9 the sidewalk would be flush with rim
