i hope this is posted in the right place as its a combination of tech/talk but anyway...I figured id introduce myself...Im in the middle of rebuilding my 87 gt t-top, its been about a 2 1/2 year process so far, and its coming along very well. It should be ready to hit the streets again in mid june. I have alot of pics ill try to post sometime this week. But i have a question regarding tires. I am about to buy 17x8.5 rims with 245-45-17 tires front and back. Do you think i will have any rubbing issues in the front? the fenders are not rolled.

thanks in advance for any comments Jeff

Welcome to the nut house, jump in, the waters fine.

welcome! great place here! i'm on 17x10.5's cobra r's all around right now. BFG 245/45/17 with no rubbing issues in the front, and slapping on 275/40/17's as soon as they get here for the back. you should be fine. why not get wider rims for the back though?

87foxstang · May 10, 2007

well i figured that 275's wouldnt fit right in the rear without rolling the fenders...unless im mistaken, but thats what ive heard

ohh and as far as wider rims, im getting a good deal on a set of 4 from someone i know

bloopbloob · May 10, 2007

i think 275's is about the max for the rear, but i think that'd be too much for a 8.5 anyways though. u shouldnt have a prob with 245/45/17s in the front. i don't, stock fenders..

Welcome aboard, those tires should give you zero problems.

Theres a few on here running 275's at all 4 corners.

Rubbing

I am running 17 x 8.5 rims with 235/45/17 tires and I get some slight rubbing at max turn each side. The car is lowered about an inch and a half with Eibach's Pro-Kit but I am still surprised I got some rubbing issues with that setup.
