          Well, 16 or 17 dosnt matter, its how tall the tire is overall, for example a 245-50-16 is pretty much the same as a 275-40-17, I have both out in garage and did a tape test.

          What I would be worried about is if the tire sticks out the wheelwell, whats the distance from the top of the tread now to the body?

          I would want at least 2.4 inches or more. loseing 1.4 inches would only leave you one inch of clearance & that would be cutting it way to close for me with the tires sticking out. Just my 2 cents.

              But he said the wheels stick out of the wheel well. Must have spacers or something. 9camaro69 are yours inside the wheel well?
