HELP WITH TIRES?

[haulbalz]

Hey guys, i know this has been beat to death, but... could you guys post some pics of the backs of your cars, showing how wide your rear tires are and tell the size. I want a really fat rear tire, but try to keep the profile low at the same time. also, would you guys reccommend nitto, BFG, ect.... Thanks! - Jake

How big are your wheels? Nitto is probably your best bet if you are looking for a drag radial because the BFG drag radials wear really fast on the street.

A 275/40/17 is the *biggest* you can probably safely go. You might get away with some Nitto 285's because they usually run a little smaller than are listed.

yep, I ran 285/40/17 in the back with no problem

no and i forgot what they were(tis been a while), but a friend has 275 17 nittos and no clearance probs. you should be able to go 285.
