I run 275's all the way around, with no rubbing. If my car was lowered it may rub.

i have 275's all around now but iam getting 255's in front. I like how it looks with it wider in the back

Awesome, thanks guys. I don't plan on lowering my car since the roads in my area suck. But I do need new tires and was wanting to put 275's all around. That way I can rotate them properly.

245's look retarded on a 9" rim.

you guys also have to put into account every tire manufacturers 245 is diff, and the quality of tire plays a major part in things

I ran the stock goodyears on my 17x9's for about 6 months before the tire separated from the rim and demolished one of the rims. Bottom line...if your spending the money for new rims PROTECT them with wider tires.

this guy in my local car club totalled his car cause he switched from 17x8 17x9 bullits to 17x9 and 17x10.5 bullits and he just swapped the tires, tire seperated during one of our cruises and his car is now being parted out.

Also since it was warm the tire was under more stress than normal, and this is with some good tires too, michellin pilot sport 2's.

Now im nervous after reading this thread. I have 17x8 stock rims with 245/45/17all around but imchanging em to 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear. I bought 315/35/17 for the rears but was gona go with 245/45/17 I already have in the front but now I dont know what to do. Money is all gone now, if I wouldve known it was dangerous to run those tires on a x9 rim I woulda bought tires instead of some other stuff []
