Terminator Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 What would be the safe maximum width of tyre to fit front and rear to stock 17” rims while maintain safe road handing characteristics? Front rim is 9” and rear is 9.5”. Any advice much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I think its 275 on 9.5" and 245 on 9" but someone else would have to back me up on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thread on this a while ago, i think 275 + 245's are the max... 'Widest safe tyres on stock 17's' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted May 6, 2003 Author Share Posted May 6, 2003 Thanks, just checked out 275/40/17 against the 16" standard wheel which came on the car at import. The 275 is the best size to fit for speedo accuracy. At 60 mph indicated the car will be doing just over 60.04 Also checking out Tirerack the 9.5" rim and 275 combo is the best to bring out the design characteristcs for the tyre I can live with both of those.
