17x8 Anthracite Bullitt Rim, tire size?
What is the recommended tire size for these 17x8 rims? http://www.americanmuscle.com/anthra...heel-17x8.html
On the site, it says 245/45-17's are the best fit, is that what i should go with? |
You could go a little wider but I wouldn't go any narrower than 245. Not any wider than 275.
|
If you havent bought the rims yet id recomend these for the back tires.
http://www.americanmuscle.com/deepdish.html Deepdish 18x10 for the backs would give it a nice stance imo. |
I probably would but my parents are buying them for me and they probably wouldnt go for the extra price on the rim/tire both. =/ i'll probably regret it later but oh well.
|
is anyone running these rims that can post some pictures of what the tire sizes look like?
|
these are basically knock-offs of the Ford OEM wheels on 02-04 GT's
I run 245/45-17's on the front and 275/40-17's on the rear http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...h_IMG00046.jpg |
ehh i'll probably just go with 245/45-17's all around
|
Get the 17x9's for the back and run a larger tire out back.
Me on stock 17x8 wheels I run regular sized 245/45/17 up front, and 275/40/17 out back for more meat. |
So what would you do with tire rotations with the rears being wider, just go side to side or not rotate them at all?
|
The tires/rims in my sig are the stock rims which are 17x8 on 275/40 tires. If your parents are buying the rims and tires and you want the wider rims, offer to pay the difference, see what they say. If I were you, I'd get the same size all the way around. For a v6, and a guy that sounds like he's on a limited budget, that's the way to go. But it won't look the best or perform the best.
