Default quick tire question

will 275/40r17's fit on my stock rear wheels?
my only worry is that they may be too wide for the wheel.
i got them for free and if they fit im gonna put my car in a local burnout contest and burn my old ones off.
ive got the stock 17's that came with my car.
thanks for the help!

Are they at least 8" wide wheels? If so, yes they will fit.

Well, measure them, it's not rocket science.

they should be 8 inch rims. the largest you can go on that 8' rims is a 275. however, 245 are the correct rim for a 8' rim. the 275 is going to sit up tall and not stretch out all. 275's are meant for 9 inch rims but i know people who do put them on 8' rims. i'm guilty of it when i first bought my car. i have the same model and color 95gt. i'm have 245/40/18 with a 8' rim in the front and a 295/35/18 with a 10' rim in the rear. i had to do some modifying to make them fit.

The stock 17's on a 94-95 should be 9"wide and therefore 275's should be fine.

But, the wheels pictures are stock 96-98 GT rims, not 94-95 rims,so they are 17x8 or 17x9. Look around on the internet for the exact specs.

I was just about to say that. Those wheels that you have on your car are from a 96+ SN car. But they should be 17x8 just like the 94-95 wheels are.
