Wheels and Tires?

[oldbaldguy]

I was looking to replace my stock setup. I have a 00gt that the previous owner lowered approx 1 1/2 in. I was looking for the black spoked bullet knockoffs. some manuf have 270/40/17 in the front with 315/35/17 in the rear. Will these fit without rubbing?. Seams to good to be true.

Thanks.

they may rub a little in the rear on the fenders, but that is easily fixable by rolling your rear fenders.

two of mny buddies have 315/35/17's out back and are lowered 1.5" and do not have any problems. it looks great IMO.

No problem,as long as you run the right size and offset rims.(see sig)

Front tire size should be 275/45/17 on a 17x9 wheel.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll just run 275/40s all around. I really don't care for the non-directional tire, they track to much for my taste. I would rather go with an all-season tire instead. It will allow me to rotate the tires. If I go this route, I need 17x9 wheels, correct?.

17x9's with 275/40/17 BFG's all the way around ftw.

I'm running 315s out back and no problems at all.
