Im needing new front tires on the stang, and I was wondering if I could put my 265s tires from the back to the front. The car has been lowered 2" and doesnt have any problems as far as tire rub. So really my ? is are the front and back rims the same size? or are the backs wider then the front.

Another stupid ? how in the hell to i get my signature pick up? haha

they are 17x8 unless they were changed.

i had 275/40/17 on konig villain 17x9 and i was lowered fairly significantly without issue.

EDIT fixed the tire size for blubullett, my Volvo has 235/40/18 and ive been on the hunt for tires lately.

18" tires on a 17 inch rim? probably had a slight leak at the bead . J/k Stock rims are 17x8, I had 255 on the front and 275 on the back. They looked good. Im pretty sure you could do 265's all around if you wanted.

No need to fix it for me. I understood what you were saying. If someone reminded me every time I spelled a word wrong I would have to fix every post I had probably.
