u might want to run 245/45/17s in the front because they are the same height as the 275s. 255s are alittle taller than the 245s and 275s, but it is probably unnoticeable.

The rims are from:
http://www.jdwheels.com/roh.htm
They have been mentioned on this site many times and seem very repudable. I also E-mailed them and they were very attentive to my questions.
They ship them from the East coast so they said that shipping to cleveland is $50 so that will give you and idea on shipping.
They also say that 17X8 is better in the front than 17X9 because there will be less of a chance for rubbing with no modifications.

17x8 is optimal but with the right offset you can run 9's without any problems. your tire dimensions are definately off though. for those tires you should be running 8.5 front and 9.5 rear.

Does anybody know where to get these tire cheaper. The prices are from 1010tires.com. I am just not fond of paying more for my tires than my rims.
