Default Fat Tires

I do autocross, and i often find myself losing front grip around hard corners. I have a set of sticky tires but it doesnt compare to the slick a lot of guys are bringing to the track. I was planning on getting a set of rim for Christmas with new tires... how wide can i go front and back? Thanks

You can do up to 285 on the front, roush comes standard with 275 on all 4......the question is how big of wheels you got?

im buying another set of rims to go with the tires. i dont want massive pretty sparkly chrome polished wheels, just ones that will get the job done on the track. 10" is as wide as it can go?

275/40R17 is a very common size and readily available unless you need 18's to clear a big brake kit. They work well with 9.5". Make sure you investigate therequired offsets.

BTW anything other than 17 x 8 or 18 x 8.5 and much off factory offset (+/- 5mm?) will boot you out of Stock.
