wheel and tire size question

found a good deal on some panther juice wheels. 3 wheels and 2 mounted tires.

here are the specs of the wheels with tires. 18" wheel 8 1/2" wide 4 3/4" backspace with if i remember correctly 255/45 tires i think may have been 245/55.

the wheels fit fine on back. did a test fit tonight. but they will not allow me to turn up front. can i use these wheels up front and if so what tire size would i have to use.

Shouldn't be any issues with 225s & 4.75 bs, unless you are really low.

I have 275s on 4.5bs and didn't rub until lowering & then just barely at full lock.

i think im at a stock height and i like where the car sits now. ill see what kind of deal he will give me and maybe go buy a used tire with the dimensions to do a test fit with the wheel he has with no tire.

Re: wheel and tire size question

New update to this. I can get the 3 wheels and 2 tires for $300. Then just need 1 wheel and 2 tires.

So any other opinions on how these will fit on my car. any modifying to do?
