anyone have 275/40 17's on the front

[Fabian3679]

I went to have those put on my car today with my new TT2 17 by 9.5 rims but the tires in the front rubbed when you turned the wheel. Has anyone else had this problem and what size tires do you put on them? I want the same size tires all the way around.

I have 275 on the front with 17x9 factory wheels - no problems.

I also have 275x40x17's on 17x9 rims. No problems, though I have gotten the rear to eat fender well once in a hard side ways sliding turn..who needs jounce spacers... ;)

Check your offset. 36MM will not work. 50MM may work. 56MM is most used with wide tires 275 to 315

That's weird, I have 17x9.5 wheels with 275/40R17s, and I have no rubbing whatsoever lock to lock.

It was the rear that rubbed, not front, front seems fine.

I also used to run 275 40 17's on a 17 x 9 rim in front and no problems at all

I'm not sure what the offset is but most of you say that you have 9" rims. I have 9 1/2" rims. Would that make a difference?

[Dominic]

slightly, but the factor is going to be the offset. What rims are they precisely?

[Fabian3679]

All I know is that they are 17 by 9 1/2" TT2's.

i have that set up nothing rubs

Its your offset. Contact whoever sold you the wheel and find out what the offset is. Then take them back and tell them to order your the right crap for your car . ;)
