New Tire Suggestion?

[noahzarc1]

I have a 2000 GT with 17" Cobra Wheels on there. Currently I have 275-40 ZR-17 on the rear and 255-40, ZR-17 in the front. I was looking for something a little bigger in the rear ... what is the widest that is suggested? I've seen the 285 on a Cobra and that looks good and I have seen up to 305. Any suggestions for the front and rear? The overall profile looks good now with what I have and I want to maintain a nice profile, but was curious if there were other sized I could go with? I do have camber plates, not sure how much of a difference that makes for up front.

I think 305s would be to much but the 285 might be OK. I run 275s in the back and 245s up front on my Cobras

315's will fit the back without problems but you'll need appropiate rims to work with that section width. Front will fit 275(factory cobras used that).

If they're 17x9's, I wouldn't suggest going over 275's. It's not SAFE for tires above 275. If you want a larger tire, get a 17x10 or 17x10.5 rim so you can run a 295/305/315 tire. People will argue that point all day long, listen to them if you want.

I've ran BFG KDW 275's all the way around and I didn't care for them in the front. They seemed to follow EVERY rut in the road and could cause problems in the rain.

The kuhmo ecsta MX tires are a LOT wider than other brands 275's. They are also a great tire and cheap. Check it out.

What width are your rims?? If they are 17x9, you are at the max
