Tires???
What other size tires would fit my stock 17" Bullitt rims? I wanna get some wider tires than 245/45/17, but I wasnt sure what other sizes would fit my with my rims. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You could run into some uneven wear if you go with a size other than that which is recommended....

Those are the words of my friend who works at a local tire place, so dont quote me on that. But I was in the same boat as you, I wanted to to get wider tires but keep my stock rims. He told me that it could be done, but I would probably need to replace my tires more often than if I got the best fitting wheels for the tires. So I guess I'm gonna hold off on tires until I get wheels.

275/40R17s will fit and not have uneven tire wear, but I would only put em in the back.

Are those taller and wider than stock? I never did understand the tire code, or whatever its called.

It wouldn't look weird at all. It actually gives you a mean stance if your rear tires are taller than your front tires. I might consider doing this. Course I would probably get the same type of tires I have now, just taller in the rear.
