Tires/Quad shocks

I'm running 17x8 Bullitt wheels on my 91 Coupe. 235/45/17's tires in the front and 245/45/17's in the rear. If I put 255/45/17's in the rear. Do I need to remove the quad shock or will it be ok?

Measure, the 255 is 10mm wider than the 245.

RE: Tires/Quad shocks

I'd like to know the purpose of the Quad shock? When I replaced my shocks, I wasn't able to find a quad....

RE: Tires/Quad shocks

You shouldn't have a problem at all if you think about it a lot of ppl are running 17X9 rims on the rear with no issues, your rims are narrower to start with...

RE: Tires/Quad shocks

i have 17x9 w/ 255/40/r17 and have no problems what so ever in the rear. i want a 265 or 275

and the quad shock is there to help out the crappy control arms
