I'm installing the same size tires (HRT Z's in the rear) on 17x10.5" FR500's tomorrow morning (fingers crossed), and my car's dropped 2" front and back. I'll be running my 275's in the front as well, lots of guys do it without issues. I don't anticipate any problems, but I'll post a thread to pic whoar them. Is your car at stock height?

nice rims!

i have 18x9 all around now and run 255s in front. i prefer that to 275s for the front

i'm going to deep dish 17" fr500s in the near future. i really want them in 17x8 in the front, but it seems that i can only get them in 17x9 instead. oh, well. i'll still go with 255s and 315 out back

how much did the tires cost? my toyo proxes 18" tires cost $200 each, i'm hoping the 17"ers are less.

i have those exact size tires on mine, same sumitomos in the rear, the fronts are fine although the 275s walk a little bit. my 315s rub when i turn up embankments very fast and thats with stock suspension, minus the quad shocks cuz they wont fit. and i have 2.5 in catback with no problems.

I have the same size rims and the same tires. They fit fine. I had to do some inner fender beating, but my quad shock is still there. I also dont have tail pipes,

I have 255's up front though, I plan on getting 275's later.

Hhmm thats pretty clever. I didn't even think about flipping them. I just took off my quad shocks yesterday, and they still seem to be in good working order. I didn't notice much difference without them though

Those are really sweet, esp if you want to save some coin for other mods. Cant beat that price, but you know me, I had to have ALL CHROME.. I like the wide lip on the back.
