Im about to get these tires...only problem is I run a 255/45/17 right now and these tires are 2 inches taller...Will these tires fit if a get some 15 inch welds with the right backspace. I also run 4.10s so im wondering how these will affect that..They car has H&R 1.75 lowerng springs also... Any input is appreciated thanks.

275/50/15 is 28inch tall?

did you actually measure them, they should only be about a 1/2 difference tops.

if you cant live without the wide tires you might be able to rool the fenders some to make them fit.

255/45/17 is 26.03 in tall
275/50/15 is 25.82 in tall

You will have a wider tire but the overall hight will be less. Your speedo will only be off by .4 mph at 60mph.

255/45/17= 26"
275/50/15= 25.78"

height= ((width*aspect ratio*2) /2550)+rim size
width= (width/25.50)

width/aspect ratio/rim size
