How many have had this combo and for how long? Any negatives at all?

I was running 255/40's on the front and 275/40 Nittor Dr's on the rear on the stock Bullit rims for 2 years with no issues.

Nittos do tend to run just a bit smaller in size then other brands of the same size.

They fit on my 02 GT with 17x8 bullits just fine.

Don't go any bigger.

The stock bullit wheels are 17x8 and you can get the 275/40/17 on there just fine, plus the height is the same as the 245/45 so it wil not alter your speedometer. If you want to get really radical, I just put 315/35/17 on 17x10.5 in mach I wheels on the back of mine. The 315/35 is the same height as the 275/40 and the 245/45 and did not alter my speedometer.

Ok thanks. I guess I'll be getting me some 275's for my b-day.
Anybody know where the best place to buy and have installed for cheap. And what brand? Thanks.
Will a shop do it even if its a tight fit, because I dont wanna go there and them tell me they cant do it? Thanks.
I know alot of questions, but I wanna do this right the first time.

They will fit, but they will buldge a little bit... not a big fan.

And most/some places won't put it on for liability reasons...aka when you blow a bead and tear **** up.

How badly bulge? And what are the odds that something bad will happen with 275's? If I'm gonna be stressin the whole damn time about it, than I'm gonna stick with 245's.
