how Big on a 17X8
 
I was wondering if I can run a 275 on stock rims of a 2004 for the back?
Thanks

That's probably too big...I would go with 245 or 255.

255 is about as far as I would go on a 8" rim.

probably depends on how much you like the bulge. when I had my 20s, they were 8.5 wide and I had 275s on the rear. I would imagine that the .5" would not make that much difference. So I would say that it could be done, but depending on the aspect ratio, you may have a big bulge.

and buldge is very bad when you take corners, it will weaken the sidewalls of the tire, and over all bring down the tire life

What kind do you have on it? As fast as I seem to go threw them what would you suggest?

well all you had to was look at an 03-04 cobra.

spike_africa 10-22-2005 05:36 PM

I was thinking the same thing.

:D That's what I thought...I want that wing but it's too damn expensive with the third brake light. :(
