GT2000mustang

I have a 2000 Mustang GT and I just bought a set of white bullitt wheels for the stang. 17 x 9 in the front and deep dish 17 x 10.5 for the back. My problem is that I dont want to spend a lot of money for tires right now. I actually just bought new michelen pilots for my previous wheels tire size on them were 245/40-17, i was wondering if 2 of those tireswill fit on the front new wheels 17 x 9. I know I have to buy newtires for the back but I am trying to save as much money as I can. The recommended size for the 17 x 9 was 275/40-17 and for the 17 x 10.5 was 315/35-17. Also does anyone know what is the smallest size I can go with on both tires sizes. All input would be greatly appreciated. THANKS

Ive got same rims sizes and put 245/45/17 in the front 17x9 rims, they are a bit stretched out but are fine till I get some cash for new 275/40/17s. So yea those tires will fit. Heres a pic, really cant tell from this view but its a bit stretched out...

It will be tough to get anything smaller than 315 to fit on a 10.5 rim

You can go with 285/40`s on the 10.5" wheel. That is the smallest and it does look pretty decent and that size is much cheaper than 315`s.

Thanks! That just made my bank account a lot happier. I will just switch over the back tires to the front and slap some different tires in the back.
