If you have stock 17 X 8 the biggest size I would put on is 255 width and I would put radial drags in the back and ZR radials in the front.

A 255/40 is a taller tire than a 245/45. There is nothing wrong with running different sized up front and out back, but in my opinion you should keep the tires the same height. A 275/40 tire is the same height as a 245/45.

thanks for your help...
I'm puttin 315/35 in the back so i really should go with a 245/45 or 275/40 up front and not a 255/40. is that right?
