Default 275/40/17 tire fit in front of Stock 01GT

going to buy my girl a set of new Eagle F1 All seasons soon. im thinking about putting 275/40/17 all around. theres no clearance issue with that on a stock height 2001 GT right?? and yeah its a stock 17x8 rim, and i know that 275s fit cuz i have 2 sets like that already


just want to make sure cuz i have my own issues with my slammed88GT with 235/50/17 up front. lol


and while we are here what do you guys think, goodyear eagle f1s or bfgoodrich G-Force KDW's??


only reason im going toward the eagle is cuz its a daily driver.

If the car hasn't been lowered at all you'll be fine. I'm not sure if they'll rub on sharp cornering though. They'll also stick out a little bit from the front fender wells if i'm not mistake. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

I have 275's on mine and I have a 1.5" drop. They do not rub nor stick out on the sides.

One thing they do quite well though is grab every groove in the road like a mother****er when on the highway.lol

I have the BF's on mine. Love the look and the stick to the road. They are wearing pretty good 2. But the tread pattern is bad ***!!
