Will 295/45/17s fit on my 02' GT w/ the stock wheels? Just want to make sure there will be no rubbing. Thanks.

They wont rub, but you wont be able to get them on the stock 8 wheel. I'd go with a 275, they will look good out back. Go 245 up front. My opinion.

Thanks Bro! I have 245 in the rear now. I will swap those to the front and get some 275's.

295's will fit no prob. If u plan on doing them in the future, and you have any problems switch the quad shocks, install them upside down.

295's would look pretty silly on an 8" wheel, even if they did fit. Even 275's are borderline in the looks dept.

295 on an 8" rim is a pretty crappy sizing job. There are times that you just shouldn't go cheap.

Even 275s are too big for an 8 inch rim. You can get away with it, buts it's not exactly an ideal setup.

A wider tire means nothing when it comes to performance, especially when the tire is way to big for the rim. It may look better from the back but thats all. The added sidewall cupping ruins handling.
