I'm shopping for tires and a site suggested 275/40-17 as a plus zero tire option for my vehicle. Would these fit on the stock rims? If so, has anyone upgraded to 275 in the rear for better traction? Is it worth it? The price of the 275 tire isn't much more than 245. Thanks, Peter

I dont beleive so, no. That tire size is what I have seen used on 17x9 rims and you have 17x8

Yeah those wheels have to be at least a 17X9 for a 275

Yes, they can be put on 17x8 inch rims.. A lot of people are doing it on this forum right now.

if your lookin for better traction get 17x10.5 wheels in the back with 315/35/17 nittos or DR's of some sort and then control arms and then 4.10 gears then sub frame connectors, and then a densecharged true CAI, accufab tb/plenum then drag spings shocks struts underdrive pullies JBA LT headers o/r magnaflow hpipe 205 cc race heads from AFR then VT stage 4 (non existent) cams , dual zex 300 HP direct injection nos kit with bottle warmer purge valve and all the goodies, o lets not forget some forged internals before the supercharger ......10,000 bucks later: then a 2.2 L mongoose KB then a c4 with transbrak then a 9 inch rear end with 33 spline axles....gut and properly 'theme' the interior, corbeau racing seats, 5 point harness then an 8 point cage....should be around 20,00 or so

Yes they may fit on a 17X8 but fit WAY better on a 17X9
