i'm looking at these Boyd Coddington rims for my fox (if i dont sell it) to get this summer :



the widest they make it in 17's is 17x8...say i get a 275/40/17 for the rear...will i have the sidewall "bubble" over? i don't want that to happen..i want the "clean" straight look for it..if not, im assuming a 265/40/17 is the widest i can go?

PS - any photshopers i have a thread in the chop shop for a little help

 

255 40 is going to give you the look you are looking for. just did this on a set of 93 cobra's 17x8 for a friend.

 

275s bubble over on 17x9s, and IMO, it looks badass


you can always have em widened to 9 inches and use 245s

 

You can put a 275 on an 8" rim. The bulge will be very minimal. It will look fine

 

i had 275/50/15s on 15x8s drag lites and it bubbled, as seen here :



i think with a rim like the draglite, the bubble looks bad ***...but with a "show" rim like this, it would look bad..but, then again, it will only be a 40 sidewall instead of the 50 in that picture, so it will be much less
