what size are the draglites? upto 275 will be okay on the turbines, but like i said, i'd stick to 255's.

17x9's w/ 275's w/ 6.0" backspacing fit perfect on the back of mine.

So for a good setup... 17x9 275/40 in the rear and 17x8 245/45 in the front?

What do you guys think about this? 4 new bullit rims with nitto nt555 out back 275/40/17... and a sumitomo tire up front. I cant decide which one to buy.... 245/45/17 is the size im going with up front.

I only have 245's in the rear on my fox, and it rubs my exhaust pipes sometimes, i dont see how i could get any wider unless the wheels had less back spacing.
