I have a 92 notch with black ponys with 245 24 on the back right now, bit i want to get new rims, like 17, but i need to know whats the biggest tire i can fit on the back with out rubbing, and what kinda off set works the best. and whats the biggest size tires you can fit on ponys. I need more hook up for the races this summer i need to hit the 12s but i dont want to have slicks, i want somthing i can just keep on.

well 17's aren't going to help as you have less sidewall..... you could get a pair of 10 hole with some et street 26 x 10's

I run 275/40-17 BFG'S on the back of my stang with 93 cobra replica's and they fit great with the quads flipped and they clear my 2 1/2 in. tail pipes fine.

You could probaly fit a 285 with the quads gone,and i do have upper and lowers but i chosed to keep my quads.
