The 255/40R17 would be a much better size for the car. The 275/40R17 is not only a little too wide but the are also taller than stock by about 3/4".

 

Don't wanna beat a dead horse here, but the guy might drop the price to the point that I can't resist.

BUT... I will have to ride on the 275's until I can pick up something to replace them.

SO... I need to know if I might either destroy the tires or my fenders making a trip down the highway and daily driving over the next few weeks till I can order some new tires (thinking of searching for another set of 615's for the rear, or get some star specs for the rear for now and replace the fronts later)

Help me... haha.

(I am riding on skunk2 springs and US spec alignment)

 

If you do get em, your best bet would be to roll and pull the fenders and some negative camber.

 

If he is giving you a deal you can't resist which means you are saving some money. Go ahead and either shell out for the alignment or new rear tires.

 

I agree. A 275 will rub with that offset. I have work Meister S2R's with a 275 rear tire and the offset 63 and they would rub when I hit a bump. Problem was solved when I pounded the rear bumper bracket.
