Default 275/40/17 on stock GT rim??

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I need a kinda quick answer as I'm ordering the tires TODAY (i'll finally be able to hook)!!! I want to run a 245/45/17 nitto 555 up front and a 275/40/17 nitto 555R out back. Will the rear setup work??? How will it look?? Pics? Thanks in advance!!

no need for nittos up front though, just get some cheap *** rubber for that
(my opinion, unless you do road racing)

ive got 275/40 on my stock back tires, little bulge, not too much, here are some picture





hope that helps

The 555's were cheap. They're only 104 a tire for a 245/45/17. The 555R's for the rear were only 147 a tire for a 275/40/17. Not to pricey in my book, when you consider the BFG KDW 2's I was looking at were like 160 a tire for the fronts and right at 200 a tire for the rears.

I've got a buddy that has 285's on an 8 inch rim until he gets his wheels in... they will go on so 275's will fit...
