Default Tire Size Question

I just got my first set of wheels, and I need some help on tire size. Here are the specs.

17x10+60 Rear

17x8+48 Front

Lowered on espelirs. What Size tires should I run? I was thinking 275's in the rear. And could you note the height as well?

Thanks

Paul

That is a lot of wheel and with that offset I would think you are going to need to modify the fender lips and maybe run more negative camber.
The front is going to need to be 225/45R17 and the rear would have to be 265/40R17 or 275/40R17. The 275/40R17 is actually too tall with the 225/45R17 in the front but I don't see anything else working.

Just because of the offset, I'd run a 265/40. You should be able to run that without any rubbing issues. A 275 will rub without any fender work.
