***Tire fitment question***

  • Sponsors (?)


I run nitto 245-45-17 nitto's on my 17X9 wheels. They are a bit stretched though. I was afraid of running the 255-40-17 because it was ~3/4" shorter than my 315-35-17 and I didn't want to have problems with the ABS. I wish I would have gotten 17X8's for the front now.
 
yes... the person who mounts them might need to inflate them to around 60psi to get the bead to set. Only heard this, but when I mounted my tire the bead set around 40psi.
 
If you want some curb protection I would say to go with 255 or 265's. I have 245's on 9 in wheels and dont like the look at all like Paul said they look stretched. once these tires are worn out I will definetly be going to the correct size or larger.
