Default RE: rims and tires

depends on width....what series tire. would have to be like 40 series to fit and still probably not.

17 X 9 no prob...need about a 255/50 series tire to clear, and w/ that you need to reverse or remove the quads.

that tire will measure about 10 1/2" wide and all you need.
