what year is your car....on the fox bodies that 255/40/17 will touch when you turn the wheel.....I have 245 on 16inchers up front and they touch....the 275s in the rear will be ok..... 


I think the sn95s have a bigger wheel area up front, but am not certain.  --  call up one of those tire places , like tire rack or even steeda in pompano will probably help you out real quick.

I have an 88 gt with 16" Pony Rims and I'm wondering what sizes of tires I can use on the rims to give it a more jacked up look.  I have 245's on it now - but it needs new rubber.  Thinking of larger tires on the back than on the front.  Any suggestions?
