275/40/17 on a 9" wide rim....it's all coming together.



My stock wheels which are perfect with brand new tires and XR7 hubcaps are for sale if anyone is interested, just shoot me a PM. I'm in Charlotte NC.

That is a lot of rubber!

Umm, yup! I'm running 285/40/17's and they are the cat's meow.

I wanted to go 285's but I was concerned about fender clearance after I put the 4 piston wilwoods all the way around.

No rubbing on 9" wide rims w/5.25" backspacing.

Do you have discs in the rear? My backspacing is 5" in the rear.

Not yet, but will soon. Putting disks in the rear will have very little effect on the backspacing, at most I would say the disk could be 1/8" thicker are the bolt flange than a drum, if that.

Good choice on the rim as well. I would love to see a true side-on view once the rims are on the car.

Side shots attached. Removed my wheel arch trim and rocker moldings. Also added the rear spoiler.
