why does everybody want really wide tires? a 9.5, or a 10" wheel out back with 285's will give you the most contact patch (a.k.a. traction).
Wide Tires
- Thread starter 927mgtepat
- Start date
I'm going to run 17x9s with 275s on all 4 corners. Not so much that I want the 'widest' tire - I just want a good chunk of meat on the ground 
I run 17x9 +35 offset on the back with 275 width tires, 40 series. I'm lowered on ST springs.
It's really close to hitting the fenders... close enough to make me worry about it with camping gear in the back, a passenger, and a full tank of gas.

I think that's the same sizes I'll be running but on coilovers. I planned on rolling my fenders anyway so looks like that will be in my future.
Im running 245's on an 8 inch rim on the rear, and 225's on 7's in the front, but I wanna go atleast 275 on some 9 1/2's out back, 245 on some 8's in the front...
staggered, of course..

I actually pulled my shock / spring in the rear, jacked up the rear wheel, and despite the fact that I was sure this was going to hit, it's completely clear. No interference until the tire hits the top of the wheel well.
So, 17x9 +35 offset with 275 width tires, 40 series fits on the rear. Barely. Without rolling the fenders, too.
My fronts, on the other hand, don't always clear...
