275/50-17s on rear??need help ASAP

[vistastang]

the 275s are.6 taller & 1.5 wider then the stock 235/55s. my rims are the stock 17"bullitt style. think they would work on the rear of an 07 pony package? Any input would be appreciated--Thanks.

I know people have gone up to 20" or so rims, so I doubt the extra height will matter. Sine the tire is 1.5 inches wider, but you're keeping the same rims you'll only need 3/4 inch of clearance on the inside. I haven't looked lately, but I doubt that'd be a problem. The easiest thing is to go check for yourself.

From what I've heard usually problems with bigger tires occur with the fronts while turning.

Hope that helps.
