  • What is the widest tire that can fit on an 01

    would a 275/40/17 tire on 17'' rim fit under my car? Im not sure what is the widest tire that will fit

    Yes a 275 will fit. That's a normal size for 17's. The widest I know of in back would be a 315. That would require a lot of bfh mod. I have 295's out back and they required some bfh and I cut out bump stops.

      I have seen mini tubed cars running 345s and some without out them running 335s.

          I would stick with the 275s though as there are no real issues with install.

              Also depends on the wheel backspacing.

                All these answers are correct. You can go larger than 315 out back if you b or mini tub but there's honestly no reason for it because I doubt you make enough power to require it. But yeah for a 17x9 wheel id go 275's. If you had a 10-11 inch wheel id do 295. Just my. 02.

                      They make a 285/40R17. Its approx 26" in diameter which is fine.

                        The next size up would be a 285. Tires run in 10 mm increments. As for the size I think most still run a 285/40r17.

                          You can go 285 on the front, with a 17x9.5" rim.
