Largest tires on 17x9 wheels?
What can I fit on them, and will it need a spacer to fit in my wheel well? I want to run 17x8's on front, 17x9 on back (ROH Snypers). Thanks for your help!

I have 275/40/17's on mine,but you may be able to fit 295's on the rears.The wider tires are going to "bubble" out more on the sides,if you know what I mean,rather than being flush with the outside edge of the rims.As far as the rims fitting on the car,you won't need any spacers,unless you go with a wider tire on the front.A good tire set for those rims would be 275/40/17 for the rears and 245/45/17 for the front.This will give the same sidewall size appearance.
