I need some pics of 275 or 245 DR's on any stock 17x8 rims. I need to know how much the stick out off the rim.
Thanks...

Although this REALLY isn't tech, I'll bite. This is my '93 Vert with Nitto 245/45 17" DRs on '97 Cobra wheels.

245/45/17s won't bulge at all, they're the perfect size for a 17x8 wheel.

Tis true... 275s are too big for a 17x8" wheel...

Cool guys keep the pics and info coming. I'm trying to pick between 245 and 275. Im leaning more toward the 245 because it fits the rims nice. The 275 might be to wide. Thats why I need some pics and peoples info..Thanks

The 275s are far too wide dude. I know a guy who works with BFG R&D and he ordered some Michelin 275s for his 17X8 wheels for a while. He replaced them with 245s because the handling was horrible. Go with 245s, and I don't think you'll be dissappointed.
