you can run a 275-40-17 on the front of an sn95 without any problems and usually 315-35-17's in the back, im sure depending on the offset you may have to remove the quad shock

not 100% certain with that body style, but that sounds accurate.

the 245's up front wouldn't be a problem. i'm just questioning the 315's. you'd probaly need a hefty backspace and maybe a spacer??

i'm sure somone knows better.

well i have a friend that works at discount so price isn't bad, and i don't like to mismatch tires, and i've had bad experiences with nitto tires so i'm steering away from those and dunlops
