17in ZR1 C6 wheels-tire size question
Hey all,
Just purchased these replica wheels today 17x8.5 all around and tires to match 275 40r17 for my 91 Firebird. I have spacers, and I believe I remember somone saying 275's should fit all around, but now I'm questining myself lol...my main concern is the front with rubbing issues...I hope I will be ok...will I lol?
Thanks everyone!

yes they are 8.5...I called tire rack and they didn't reccommend putting that wide of a tire on that rim, so I reordered 245's all around
