tire help

will 245/45s fit on 17 x10.5's?

slow90coupe · Apr 11, 2013

Yes, but please don't. They will look really retarded on a Mustang, and will probably cause problems like the bead coming unsealed. The people that have to mount them will also hate you forever.

Is this going on the front or rear?

Front - 275.
Rear - 315.

315's on 17's are money with our cars.

I have 245/9 and 275/10 and it's a little to stretched for me.

Depends on the tire brand, I used to have 315 sumi's on the rear of mine, switched to BFG 275's and they are nearly as wide but are worlds better of a tire

Sumitumos just suck in general. I'm never running those again.

i was looking at that brand what problems did u have

Ferocious · Apr 11, 2013

I had the HTR Z II in 275s on the rear and they just weren't anything special.

I guess if you're just gonna daily you car its ok.

Just don't expect them to be useful for traction. Treadwear wasn't half bad. I drove about 5000 miles and sold mine with 3/4 tread left.
They're good for roasting though since they're so cheap. Can't confirm nor deny how well they handle in rain since that doesn't exist over here.

Save your money sumis are a waist of hard earned cash, Wheel distributors throw them in as a package deal just to make you think you getting a good deal on there cheap ass wheels.
