mav with 17" rims/tires

I wouldn't want to use a 245-45-17 on on 7in wide rim...min rim range is 7.5...for a 50 series 7in is the min range so you're good on your part..

well guess a 8 with a 225 or 235 should still fit wlell as the skinniest 245-50 section width is 9.5 while largest is 10.1

btw injected
what tire brand do you have and what's youyre rear bs and spacer if you have them. so i can acctually compre youre treadwidth with what i'm concidering..well aslong as its on tirerack lol

i feel the 225 45 would fit better on an 8 in rather then a 235-45 as 225 max width range is 8.5 ..firmer sidewall while only giving up .2 section width, but i feel ya on the sidewall/rim issue for curb shots lol atleast with the 225s i'd know they should fit and could upgrade to 235s next go round

 

if ur gonna run a 225-45 tire, run the 7" rim...

 

X2 A 225 tire may fit an 8" rim But looks much better on a 7"

 

running a Kumho ASX, 245/50R16 (it is listed in tirerack.com, since that's where I got them) I bought the wheels a long time ago but I think they are 4" BS, no spacers. I'll try and measure it later if I can get the car in the shop.

 

did any of you guys have to trim the side of yourr front pan for 17s?

 

nope.......

like i posted earlier, no mods were made to my car what-so-ever

 

No trimming, no body mods at all. My front fender is factory rolled along the top middle. I had 70 and 73 Mavericks that were not rolled, My 72 Comet was also rolled and appeared factory. Front pan clearance is about .5", rear fender has plenty. UCA clearance is around .75" but with 17's you should have more with similar backspacing.

 

good deal, Looks like i'll just be ordering 17x8 4.5 BS all around with 245-45-17 rear and 235-45-17 fronts!
Kumho Ecsta SPT

 

Nice price! Keep us posted on how you like them.

 

I can get them in that somotomo brand or w/e for a good biit cheaper but I hear they run smaller and they dont get good traction with v8 ccars...rubber must be hard or something..lol

 

well i decided to just go 17x7 up front with a 225-45 and 17x8 with 245-45

got tires a few days ago...rims wont be here till the 30th...


i'll post pics around then

 

here comes the pics
