will these tires fit on my G.T.?

I have a 1998 G.T. and i am running 295/40/17 and the rim is 10" wide. I need new tires really bad and my friend wants to sell me some 335/35/17. will they fit?

RE: will these tires fit on my G.T.?

No they are too wide. Even if they are Nitto's that run narrow, they are still too wide. 315 is the widest you can really go on a 10" rim. 305 is what manufacturers tell you is the widest, but you can generally go up one more size than they tell you is max. with that said 315/35/17 is the absolute widest I would go on a 10" wheel. Sure the 335's will fit, but they won't wear right and you won't gain any traction if anything you will lose. Also, 335's will rub any car .5" drop or lower guaranteed!! Unless you roll your fenders.
