Default pics of 255/45/17 tires on 17x9 wheels

hey does anyone have pictures of 255/45/17 tires on 17x9 wheels, id appriciate it, i know 245 looks small but im wonderin how 255/45's will look, because I think 275 is a lil wide for the front. So i'm deciding if I should get 275 again or 255 when I need tires....thanks a lot

i actually wanted to see how it lines up with the rim like in this pic.....like 245's the edge of the tread doesn't line up with the outside of the rim on a 17x9 wheel

have you thought about getting a bumpsteer kit from steeda? mine pulled every rut in the road then once i put that bumpsteer kit on - no more! it was such a relief.

255 is a little small on a 17x9 just shell out the little more for at least a 265. If you are going for the back tire get at least a 275 35 on the rear.
