Opinions on this tire setup

[AnthonyA1234]

Looking to get nitto nt555 g2’s for my 92 gt. Wanted to go with 245s in the front and 275s in the back. However with this tire it only comes in 245/45 and 275/50. Would the difference in sidewall be ok? Would it look weird? Let me know what you guys think.

Ok so the tire also comes in a 275/40r17 and from what I’m reading a 245/45r17 and a 275/40r17 have the same length sidewall so I guess I’ll go with that. Is anyone else running this setup?

This car has 245/40 on the front and 275/35 on the rear..... Looks OK to me

I’m running those sizes on mine. Same overall diameter.

What modifications if any did you have to do to get them to fit?

I have this same setup on 17" Pony Wheels and couldn't be happier with the way it looks and fits.

Nice, what did you have to do to get it to fit and could you post some pics?

All I added was rack limiters to the front to prevent some rubbing at full lock.

 

[Dan02gt]

I didn't change anything to get them to fit. Car is setting on Steeda Sport springs. The front does rub a tiny bit on a full lock turn.

I have the Exact setup you mentioned . 17x8 17x10 same tire size

Jeez, TOOLOW91. Your car is like J LO. Just doesn’t take a bad picture. From front, or behind.

His car does not have a fat ass........

 

[1hot87gt]

Not fat, but thick.

Are we still talking about the car, or J Lo?

245/45/17 and 275/40/17 BFG's

The ratio for both tires are pretty close (18.3 for the 245s vs. 18.18 for the 275s). Personally, unless you have modified the front or, rear suspension geometry, I wouldn’t mix tire sizes. Engineers much smarter than you or, I designed the car to have balance which includes four of the same shoes all around. Happy Motoring.

I have a 165/80r15 in the front and 275/60r15 in the back. If you’re cruising and around hammering down from stop light to stop light you don’t even notice it has skinnies on the front. A smaller stagger like a 245 and 275 will be completely fine.
