Wheels and tires

So as of right now I have 215/55/17 all around. The rims are 8 inches wide and I’m looking to get 275/60/17 tires, The description for tires say they will go on a 8 inch wide rim, so just asking it I’ll rub or not. Or I could go with Nitto drag radials 245/45/17 but I feel that’s going to look dumb with the front tires sidewalls being at a 55. Any suggestions? I’m making around 400 Hp and 407 Tq at the crank

Re: Wheels and tires

Are you sure you want 275/60/17? That tire is 30 inches tall. That is A LOT of tire. Your 215/55/17 are only 26 inches tall. Which is close to the stock diameter.

Re: Wheels and tires

Wrong tire size to tall and would recommend wider wheel at least a 9.5 or wider
