Hey all, i just got my 17x9's 35 offset and i picked up a set of 275/45/17 tires (couldnt resist, only 50 bucks for all 4). Anyway, i'm a bit worreid about fitting these cuz they pretty huge. The rears i'm not too worried about the front i'm kinda iffy. I was thinking i might just buy 235/245 wide tires for the front wheels to clear coilovers, etc. Anyone have any input?

thanks

witt

^^ 275 in the rear MAYBE, 275 up front, NO shot in hell, especially not with those offset, if they were around a 9" with a +10 offset, you might have a shot. The widest you can go up front on an s13 is about a 245

nvm, i've already decided from doing some more searching to go with a diff size. too much bulge i think with the 275's ona 9 inch rim. I'll prob try 245's all around

245's up front are still going to be hell to fit

not really, as long as your car isnt SLAMMED, it should fit just fine. MAYBE a little bit of rubber under full lock.

question can you fit a 225 on a the s13 7 spoke?

I ran 275's on an s13 on a 8.5 inch +40. Using the offset calc:

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 8mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 18mm

knowing that these things are really gonna stick out on your car. here is pics of the 275's on my car.
