So, Now I have been looking at different size tires. I have ordered 17" rims but I'm not going to race my car. I want a tire that works good for my combination. A taller tire as long as it clears will give me more ground clearance (which is never bad). I see Falken makes a 265/50/17, a little narrower(more clearance). I don't think I would even notice the differnce in the wirth . Anyhow; I know lots and lots of you guys are using 17" rims, probally most have the same offsets I have. What tires are you using? How do they fit? My rear end is not narrowed and I won't be rolling my fenders. Give me some advise. Thanks Sanman

Here's my set-up Rims are American Racing Torq-Thrust ARE-105MS7865B ARE-105MS8965B Dr Diff 1" relocation kit gives me about 0.75" clearance from tire to leaf spring on each side. 17x8 (4.5" BS) up frt - 17/225/50 (25.9") $95 each 18x9 (6" BS) in rear - 18/275/40 (26.7") $115 each I looked at the 285's for the rear but it was almost $100 more per tire. I looked for common sizes to keep the cost down.
