Any of you guys running 275's on your 8" wide wheels?? I know it's not the ideal tire size for the rim's width, but i'm just looking to put a little more rubber under the rear of my 5.0 on 17x8 chrome 03/04 GT premium wheels.

Debating between a 275/45/17 and a 255/45/17 out back.

The front tires cupped on the inside but I had lowered the car, didn't have C&C plates and I think the alignment was off on the car. When I noticed it, I just rotated the wheels. Maybe somebody else will chime in who knows they had the car aligned properly.
