Default Wheels and Tires

Thinking of putting 17X10.5 deep dish on the rear of my 02 GT Convt, will that be possible with the 17X9's on the front, and what size tire would I get for them....tc

I have those on my car, 275/40 in the front and 315/35 in the rear. No rubbing in the rear and slight rubbing in the front on full lock.

Thinking of 315/35/17's on rear, I have 245/45/17's on front, will the 45's on front and 35"s on back be an issue, ie, back lower than front?...tc

Nope, that is a percentage of the overall width. Meaning the sidewall itself is about the same height.

i wouldnt worry about it the 10.5's will give your car some major attitude when going down the road. i paid about 190 for each of my 315/35/17 NITTOs and they hook up like no other. I have the stock tire size on the front still and it looks nice. with that fat of tire no one will care if its a 35 side wall or a 45 sidewall.
