Hey!! I have a set of 17x9" Wheels on my car and i am running 245/45/17's in the front and 275/40/17's in the rear....the 275 just look small and i was wondering what the biggest size i could run is? I have heard about people using 285/40/17's but havent seen anyone using them. Some also say i can run a 315 on them with a slight bulge....any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!!! And if you can post some pics please!!!!!!!

I have 17 x 9 in the front with 275's and they are perfectly square. I have 17 x 10.5 with 315's in the back and they are perfectly square.

275 is the correct width for a 9" wheel, you can stuff a 315 on it but it's going to be squished and not wear properly.
