Stocks are good 245/40/17.. I would run 275's all around, lol.. I tell everyone this.. 275/35/17 I run 275's all around on my 18's and they fit perfect with no rubbing and they look mean..

hey.. way to have no clue about tire sizes... good job spreading bad info.

Your stock tire size has a 25.6" overall diameter. anything larger or smaller will throw off your speedometer.

I recommend to EVERY fox owner that wants to run 17x9 wheels on their cars to go with a 245/45/17 in front and a 275/40/17 in the rear



and 01GTType.. 245/40/17 is 24.7" ... which is almost a full inch smaller than stock. Good Job!

275/35/17 is again... about 1" shorter than a 275/40/17 which retains stock height of 25.6"

01GTType -> RE: Tire size.. (11/27/2006 12:01:40 AM)

Ok yeah that was my bad.. He didn't say what year car he had and I didn't look at his screen name.. I was talking about the newer mustangs, so technically it was both our faults.. I see what your saying 245/45/17's are stock not 245/40/17's.

So 91LXMustang I appologize... [;)]


AdderMk2 -> RE: Tire size.. (11/27/2006 12:03:58 AM)

overall tire diameter didnt change from 79-04....

i used to sell wheel and tire packages... i know more than you think.... if your running 275/35/17's, your runing too small a tire

now 275/35/18 is a COMPLETELY different stort
because you are once again close to the stock 25.6"

01GTType -> RE: Tire size.. (11/27/2006 12:07:36 AM)

Damn dude I was fixing my post give me a second...

01GTType -> RE: Tire size.. (11/27/2006 12:09:33 AM)

What I'm saying on a 91 Mustang don't you think a 17x9 with a 275 on it might be more likely to rub on than a 95-04 Mustang?

01GTType -> RE: Tire size.. (11/27/2006 12:15:43 AM)

I'm going to check that out tomorrow I have a friend with a 90 CHP stang so I will check the fender well circumference tomorrow and compare it to mine.. It will give me something to do after work.. I figure if he has a five lug conversion I can throw one of my rims on and see if it has clearance...

Peace out [sm=loser.gif]

AdderMk2 -> RE: Tire size.. (11/27/2006 12:19:03 AM)

the 90-93 fit the 17x9 easier than the 89 and down... the fenders were given a little more clearance

i'm planning on buying some 17's for my 89. will the 275/40 fit in back without removing the quads? also, is the 245/45 the same overall diameter as the 275/40?

AdderMk2 -> RE: Tire size.. (7/14/2007 6:47:58 PM)

you might not have to remove the quad shock, but you will probably have to flip it

dillon1340 -> RE: Tire size.. (7/14/2007 6:48:57 PM)

are those two sizes the same overall diameter?
