Default Anyone running 275/40/17 on all 4

I am just curious if anyone is running this size of tire. I know you can go wider in the rear,but how wide can you go up front?[8D]

Na, just the old stock tires.

Bicycle tires on the front, moped tires on the back.

I have 275/40 18 on all 4 with 9 inch wide rims,
If you want to use the stock 17 8" wide rims, the max you can go is 255's

This might help,
put in the tire sizes you want in the origional tire size spot (front) and the perposed tire spot as (Rear), and the graph will show you the front and rear tire height

I Recommend 255/40 17 Front and 275/40 17 Rear

I have 275/40/17s all around on the stock 17x8s and i have no rubbing problems and they fit my wheels good...I like the look of it...but will soon be going to 255/40/18 front (18x9) and 295/35/18 rear (18x10)...

Van, I would like to see a closeup pic of your stock wheels with those tires on them.
