I have some 245/45/16 right now, and i think its way too small, they are very slippery from a dig.

I wouldnt be worry about what size but, what tire to get, you have gears done.

I would upgrade rims. You are going to have a much broader spectrum of tires sizes avail for you in 17's

Get some 95 gt rims( tri bars) they are cheap and 17 inch. You can put 275's on them

You really can't find a nice set anymore that's why i am hanging onto mine. They are also one of the lightest OEM wheel made. Also putting a 275 on there is streacthing it. I had a 275/40 on there and the center wore way to quick. I just put a set of 255/45 on the 01 cobra's i have now.

Technically 245s are the widest you should go on a 17x8" wheel, but yes 275s will fit. If you have 245/45-16s then your tire is too short.

That's what they say but when ford put a 255/45 on there 17" Cobra in 94 and 95 i think it was. That's the only reason i put 255/45 on the 01 cobra's i just picked up.

Don't go more than a 275 on a 17x8...they will bulge a little bit, but work.

I ran a 315 on a 17x9" wheel before, the previous owner of the wheels did it...and it worked fine, but definitely made me a little nervous.

yeah, only reason i didn't mention the 255s is cause its a slightly taller sidewall. either way.
