I just bought the rims and need some thoughts on tire size. The rims and tires on now are ponies with 245/50/16 on front, and they rub when I turn. Would 235/45/17 fit and would they rub too. The rubbing is'nt to bad now, as long as it don't get worse. Does the 245/45/17 fit? As far as the back goes, I have 255/50/16 and the clearence is tight on pass. side between tailpipe & gas tank. Would 275/40/17 or 295 fit, if I take the tailpipes & quadshocks off? I'd like the biggest poss. in back.
