Hey everyone, I might be swapping wheels/tires soon and the new wheels/tires need tires. They are staggered bulletts, and I think the rear's are 10" wide. I'm wanting to run a DR in the rear with nitto 555r's and nitto 555's in the front. What's the optimal tire size for the rear? I'm wanting wider than a 275, but I dont want to run spacers. I can reverse the rear isolaters in the rear if need be. It's not lowered yet, but will be lowered about an 1" all around afterwhile.

I plan on running a 245/45r17 in the front, but I am unsure about the rear. I think the rear is a 10" wheel.

I run 315/35/17's in the rear with Eibach springs ans no problems. They look sweet too.

How wide are your front rims?? I got 275/45/17 on the front and they stick out past the fenders a little. Don't rub though. I'd go with maybe a 255 up front.

The only thing I had to do was take off my quadshocks on the rear, but that's ok because I have good control arms. I wouldn't with the stock suspension. The 315's were rubbing a little bit on them so I took 'em off.

I don't have the quad shocks either. They were already off when I bought the car.

Then a 315 will fit nicely :thumbsup:

p.s. Mine rub just a tad on my rear shocks but I'm not worried about it
