I'm wanting to run a wider set of rear tires on my AP1. I'm currently running 225s out front and 245s in the rear. I'm wanting to stick with the same tires and move my 245s to the front. The next size up I've found for my current tires are 275/40s. with a 17x9 +45 wheel is it even possible to fit these in the rear without cutting the fenders or is a roll and tab relocation sufficient?

Input is appreiciated.

17x9 +45 with a 275 is going to rub, LOTS. Even a full roll/relocation/negative camber may not 100% clear them. It will be close and require LOTS of rear fender work, much of this depends on ride height as well.

 

that's all I needed to know. I'll see if I can order my tire in a custom 255

 

What do you mean custom 255?

 

You would need a rim that is around 9.5+65 or 10+70 to fit those tires.

 

my particular brand/style of tires jumps from 245s to 275s...or at least that's all I can find.





edit: a little more searching and I found some 255/40 17s same style
