another tire question????
I'm about to get new tires, and have the stock 17"X8" and wanted to know what size I should get. What is better the 255 40's or 45's??? I want bigger than that, but I Nitto doesn't make a 265, and I heard that 275 is too big for the stock 8"

You will need to go with a 255/45 if you want your tire and wheel height about the same. This is the size I use up front.
As far as the widdest tire goes, I think you can get 275's on them, but I am not sure. I would call Tire Rack and see what they say, just understand that I have always found them to be conservative. |
275 fit our rims just fine.
here is a pic of 275 nittos. http://mustanglife.tenmagazines.com/...t99/102457.jpg |
Dustin to the rescue! Thanks man.
I say so with the 255's in front and the 275's in back. |
thanks man, I think I'll go with the same setup, 255 45's in the front and 275's out back

Nittos also run kinda small. Their 315 would be like a 305 to any other tire.
|
I talked to Nitto about that one and they claim that is not true. But, I have never used Nitto's before myself, but have heard that also.
|
Ive personally seen otherwise on that. And why would they admit to shafting the customers on size? It benefits some, but hurts others. If I can fit their 275 on my 17x8 stockers, id do that instead of getting 10.5s on the back and running 315's.
