Tire Question

[SVT Chic]

A few months back I bought the 03 Cobra wheels in 17x9 and 17x10.5 for my car and now it's time to get some tires! My stockers are 17x8 all around. Will my stock tires fit on the 17x9 wheels? Or will I have to buy a new pair for the fronts, I know I want the Nitto 315's for the rear.....any input???

they will fit. It will look stupid as hell but fit.

ditto. the top of the tire kinda gets pulled in & looks like crap

Why don't u take advantage of having 10 inch rear rims. I would love to be able to put 315's on my rear. IMO, the smallest tire you could go to would be 255 in front with your 9 " rim and max 315 in the rear. Thats just my opinion. good luck

I said I was getting the 315's for the rear hun, did you not see it? But thanx for the input, I'll probably go with 275's for the front.

the 245/45/17's fit and are within the recommended size according to www.tirerack.com . You have a few options up front.. The rear is where the speedometer calibration is, so you can go slightly smaller up front with a 255/40/17, 265/40/17, or stock diamter with the 275/40/17. I'd go with 265/40 personally

good choice, they look great you'll get a little tracking (not too bad) on bad roads, but the look is well worth it
