What size tire are you running on the 17x10.5 inch wheels? I ordered two 17x9s for the front, and I would like to stay with the 245/45-17s, but out back I was thinking like 285, but I'm not sure if that is big enough for a 10.5 inch wide wheel. What do ya think???

315/35-17 rear no clearance problems
275/40-17 in front with just a little bit of rubbing when i turn the wheel completely to the left or rigth

245s will be way too narrow for a 9" wheel

255's up front work great, either 295's or 315's in the back.

 

[bakos24]

I agree. 255s up front, 315s in the back. This is what Im running. No rubbing issues at all in the back.

i have 17x9 front rims and 17x10.5 rims out back, they are chrome bullit style. The back tires are BFG kdws 285/40 17, BFG kdws 245/45 17 front.

Anything smaller than a 265 on the front will expose the lip of the rim (most tires have a vertical sidewall) and prone the rim to curbing.

If you look at Pughman's pictures, his tires offer very little sidwall protection for the rim lip. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but you gotta watch out when reversing into a stall with a high curb or pulling in to stalls where you can't see the curbs.

Just a word of caution.

it is less money, but next time i will get 315's in back, and 275's front for looks, if you can pay that for them get them...

I have 275/40's on the front and 315/35's out the back and I have zero rubbing/clearance issues...
