sounds good to me

You wont have any probs at all with a 255. As for the turbine wheels, I ran some 295/50/15 one winter on the back of my car with very minor rubbing around hard corners on those rims. Why are you going so narrow on the tires, you can fit up to a 285 in the rear with no rubbing issues.

hi,
so 275-45-17 in rear
and what should I put in front?

with 275's you sure no rubbing at all?
cause that rear shock seems realy close

You can put a 245/45/17 on the front and it should not rub. That's what most ppl run and the 275's should be fine as well. An 8" wheel w/ a 5.5 backspacing will do just fine If you're really that worried step down a size or 2.

best thing is
235-45-17 front
and rear 265-45-17

if 265 do exist

275/40/17 ... not 275/45... not 265/45 either.... 275/40/17... and it WILL fit

im looking to get some weld drag lites with 265/50/15 in back and i know im going to put a 5 or 7 inch wheel up front

what i want is for the wheel in the back to feel up my wheel well but not stick out any and a nice deep lip....

i was thinking 9 inch wheel what backspacing would I need and what off set would i need up front with a 5 inch wheel....

sorry dont mean to hijack thread but didnt see a reason to start a new one.

15x8 and 275/50/15..... do it right the first time

i still have my quad shocks and car is lowered with steeda sport lowering springs.... i dont want to rub and i dont want my tire to look too balloned out either...

ok a 265/50/16 is 10.43" wide

a 275/50/16 is 10.83" wide....

i dont want the balloned look so i think id rather go with a 9" wheel imo it will look better... ive seen 275 on 8" wheel and in my opinion too wide of a tire for that rim. its the same as putting a 255 on a pony rim it will look too balloned.

ill figure out the backspacing.

9" wheel w/ a 6.0 backspace is the perfect combo.
