Default 275/40/17s' too big for front? 315s'in back?
Hi all,

Do you think a 275/40/17 will be too wide for front tires, should I go 255 in front? What are the widest meats I can use front and back without any tricks?

If it's lowered, go with 255.

Got any close up pics? I'm curious to see how they look, especially up front with 275s.

No stockers, AM chrome Bullits 17x9. I will be lowered 1.5-2 inches (H&R sport springs). Will 255s' look ok on those rims?

On 17x9`s 255`s will look good. I would do 255`s up front and 285`s out back on that size rim. That would look killer. (jmo)
