Opps, New wheel Question.

[Twista]

So, im getting some new rims today and i dont think they will fit my 245-45-17's rims. The rims are currently on 275/40/17, but they aren't in perfect condition. Is that a problem? Im hoping they dont rub anywhere also. :dunno: I can roll around on theses 275's till i get some more money to get some new tires.

 

[scarface]

huh? 275/40/17s will fit all the way around as long as they are on the proper size rims.

Your getting new rims with 275 tires, but the rims...hell im lost lol sorry bro

Im getting new rims, (local buy) The rims come with tires already on them.

I currently have 245's all around on my mustang. The new rims have 275 around, but 2 tires are bald and the other two have alittle amount of tread left on them. My 245's are basically brand new and i was going to get the new rims taken off and mounted on my 245's.

what size are the new rims? that would be helpful...

 

[scarface]

yeah 245 is a tiny tire, I wouldnt go putting them on a wide rim.

 

[Twista]

Well, once i find out what size wheels they are. Ill go the the scalp yard and pick up some tires of this size. LOL, yes i know its a cheap way, but i been there before and they have tons of tires. Big and small from wrecked cars i guess.

 

[Twista]

500 post on here lol. Great.

I just contacted the guy and wheels are 17.9
He said they will fit 245's, but my question is now.
What other sizes can theses rims fit? I;ll make a run by the auto place and get some used good tires that are wider than the 245's.

I had 245's on the front of my car for a while on a 9 inch rim, so you should be ok....but you can run 275's

COOL
What about 265 or 255's? Do you know the combo i need to run thoses? 265-45-17 or 255-45-17
Just trying to get the sizes i can run just in case the scrap yard is out of one size.

I would stay with a 40 series. 255, 275.

the wider the better, and the tire shop will tell you if they can mount them to your rim size.

a good majority of tire shops are run by retards...dont rely on the to make the judgment.

I guess that's true. I haven't had any problems with Discount Tire Co.
Just don't get retarted with it!
If they refer to the tires as "them big round thingies"
that's not a good sign.

i have 245/45/17's on the front of kb on a 9in wide wheel and it looks like ass.

 

[Fets]

Ass because its too big or because its too small? Im scared to put my 275s on the front of mine. Gonna handle like a damn tank!

 

[scarface]

looks like ass, but he is low on dough...so it will do.

 

[95KBGT]

the tire is way to small for the wheel, the wheel sticks out a 1/4 or so of an inch, you need at least a 255+
