Need help guys! 255/265/ or 275s in the front. Going to buy soon!

[Zorro]

Well I know I am going to get 315/35/17 in the rear. But for the fronts I am unsure of. 255/265/ or 275s and would it be by 40 or 45 series. Please help me out guys! Thanks for any help.

I have 275/40/17s all around, it tracks a lot. I don't really have any advice, just my experience.

yep 275/40 x4 w/tracking here too, & if i wasn't worried about rotation, i would stay with 255 or whatever the smallest that fits the rim is.

265/40/17 .. trust me, you won't be disappointed

275/40/17 will rub for sure.. 265/40 may rub slightly (my 265/35/18's rub in front only on hard full lock turns)

255/40/17 looks too short

255/45/17 is too tall

I don't believe mine rubs.

no rub, just tracks like a mutha.

275's all around and I never rub plus once I smoke the rears I can move that fronts to the back! love the look too.. But I bet I would love the look of 315's in the back.

me too, but i don't know what u do when the tires start to wear a bit. can't rotate from side to side, so do people just buy new ones? drive on em anyway?

Thanks guys for the feedback. I think I am going to go with the 265/40/17s for the front, to be on the safe side. I don't want rubbing issues. Do I need to calibrate my tires by the way?

275's? R U Nuts?

 

[Zorro]

Not nuts, btw 03 cobra has 275s all around from factory!

I have 275's up front and it looks good. The tire is directly in line with the wheel well. For as little as I drive my car, I should have gone with 17x10's and 315's in the rear. I regret that one. Yes, the 275's up front do track a ton. Keep a steady hand on that steering wheel.

Zorro - you have a pm.
