tire width
 

whats the biggest tire with i can put on my stock 17inch rims for my 03 GT? I want fattttt tires, been lookin at the Nitto 555r's

I've heard of people cramming 315/35/17 Nitto 555 Drag Radials on your stockers but you rim I would go any wider than 275.

Go with a 275/40/17 BFG drag, they are huge!!! I measured the tread of my other rims that have a pair of Yokahama 275's and they were 9 3/4" and the BFG's are 11"s. I think anything bigger would be too big of a tire, especially if you plan on racing.

hmm ok helps alot. i got 245's on there now n they look like frigin spare donuts :(

I got the factory goodyear's on the front of mine still (245's) and compaired to the 275's they look like lil cookie cutters. Some people have mistaken and thaught my back rims were the deep dish bullets due to the tire being so wide.

Wait until you step into the world of 315's.

dear god

Same here Im running 315s and they are huge. They fill the whole rim. I dont think I can go any wider.

Go with 275s. Any bigger on those rims and you will start having tire problems.

i bought rims that are 18 x 8.5 what would you guys recommend putting on them?

255 / 40 / 18
265 / 40 / 18

those would be your best option.

I say keep the two front stock bullitts and then buy 2 deep dish bullitts for the back, then you can put 315s on the back.
