what tire sizes will fit my 17' 9" wheel.
i have 245's right now but looking to upgrade to 275's would that fit i want as wide as i can go really.
|
275/40/17 is the best fit
|
yep...if you are ordering your rims off of AmericanMuscle.com then it has the tire suggestion and they do suggest 275's, putting a 245 on a 9" rim will look way to "slim" and will have the tire stretched out.
|
Oh so 275 looks the widest and fits the best. Now what kind of tire should i get i was looking into bf goodrich g force or these falken tires. I have dunlop sports at the moment.
|
get whatever makes your wee wee happy. they're both decent tires.
|
in other words....275
|
Yeah so i just got new tires i dont really like them at all. I got Falken Zexius 245,45,17 which i hate. I was going for 275 but they said it would only work for the rear. but i need all for tires the same so i can rotate them. The tires aren't low profile enough for me and im kinda dissapointed but whatever.
|
you can get 275 all around...dont know why they told you differant

ryan, dude... where did you get your wheels from? If you're rubbing on anything but a damn near full lock turn then there's a problem. My car is more than 2" lowered and I run a 17x9 and there's no rubbing. Granted I have tubular suspension but still... no fender rub ever.

Tip for everyone. Les Schwab is a scam. I went there to get 4 tires and a wheel alignment. I got some Zexius tires which they said were Falken's. I go home and research it and turns out they are not Falken's. So they charge e the price of falkens and instead i get these fake Falken's. Whoever needs tires do not go to Les Schwab they are a scam. |
take your car back and tell the manager you feel lied to and you'd like him to make it right. always works for me
now... back to my question. No, not your tires... your wheels... the metal things your tires go on. In any case... you got tires already so point is moot. |
I got 2000 cobra r wheels. They have been on there since i got the car size 17.9"
|
I have seen 285's on a 17x9 it looks good, but a 275 is a better fit

275/40/17 is the correct size for a 17x9 rim. You shouldn't get any rub except at very extreme steering angles.
Machnjo is right btw... 255 looks like crap on a 9" rim. |
