Default 275 tires on stock GT pony rims?
Do 275 fit fine without any rubbing or damage on the stock GT 5 spoke 17inch pony rims? ( 2000 mustang GT)

Wrong section.

Yeah, I run 275/40/17 on my stock 17x8 wheels. You'll be fine.

the ideal rim size in 9 inches, but as said you'll be fine.

A 35 sidewall on a 275 is going to reduce your tire diameter (not to mention be a dammed short tire) you want to go with a 275/40/R17

Anyone know if 245's will fit on a 9 inch wheel? I need two front tires, but only need them for like 6 months. Trying to buy a used pair for like $50.

looking on summit racing for a radom brand 245/45/R17 this is what I get:

It says the max rim width is 9 inches
