  • 17" wheels

    I'm soon going to be getting the SLP 10 spoke 17" wheels and I was wondering what size you guys/girls would recommend. I was thinking like 275/35/17, but I'm not much of a tire pro so any advice would be helpful.

    275-40-17's or 245-45-17's, depending on how much traction u want and the kinda look ur goin for.

      Will the 275/40's on the front rub at all?
      I am gonna purchase new 17" tires myself, and I would like the 275/40's all around if they aren't going to rub.

        I'm looking more for traction than look.

          275/40/17 is the factory size for the WS6 and SS.

            275-40-17's will fit w/o rubbing at all. they come stock on SS's, WS6's, and Firehawks. if you got 17x9.5 rims, and they had the right backspacing, u could fit 285-40-17's in front, but like i said, all depends on backspacing. in the rear, ppl can fit 17x11 rims w/ 315-35 tires, or 18x10.5 w/ 295-35-18 tires.

              P275/40R17 yes, or P255/45R17 if you need something cheaper.
