275/40R17?

will that fit on a 04 GT stock rim... i know they are a 17x8" wheel... but will this hoss fit on there? the 245's on there now look like they are actually stretched on a bit like they are to skinny so i think that these 275's will work in back. if not then

A lot of people put 275s on the stock 17x8 rims. Many say Nittos are a little narrow so they fit better than other brands. I dunno. Nitto's website says the MINIMUM rim width for their 275 is a 9 inch rim. I'm not one to go against the manufacturer's specs. I got 17x9 rims for the rear axle and put 285 Nitto 555 EPs.

well they are tires that came off of a 03 cobra so they are the Eagle F1 GS and Tire Rack says minimum width is 8.5" but that is usually a conservative number.

It's too large a tire. It bows which actually reduces traction. Put 255/45-17's on there if you can. Toyo TR1's are a good choice.

they HAVE to be better than my 245 Kumho ecsta supras...

also im getting them for 40 bucks so its not like im spending 470 bucks for new ones.

i had 275 Kuhmos (they run narrow like Nittos) on my stock wheels and they bulged really bad. stability and handling were greatly affected. i was downright scared at 80 mph. the slightest crosswind would cause me to switch lanes. not good. but they fit

 

[03ghoststang]

they'll fit but they do track alot that is why im getting 17x9 rims out back to seat the tires properly

im gettnig them and if nothing else ill just make a buncha smoke w/ them.

I have had BFG KDWS 275's on with no bulging or issues. I have seen some other brands on there and I can't say the same.
