ok here is the real question i want answered................. i have 17 inch stock rims what size tire and rim or combination there of can i run with fender rolling or shaving anything and i want to be able to run the strip, street, track or anything else with as many people as i can have in the car. I am planning to upgrade tp pedder suspension as soon as i get back from deployment. i would like any opinions on wheels tires ect just as long as they dont involve rubbing or car modification. The biggest size the better looking to put power to pavement. If you have rim sizes include all measurements please. Thanks

Search. :D With the right back spacing 275s on rear if you cut possibly more. But on a serious note if you search you could find twenty threads on this.

He's right. The Nitto 275 (thinner than most 275's) will fit without rub if your cradle is properly aligned. Alot of people don't think 275's are good on our thin rims.
Face!

I run that size nitto dr on my stock rims, I only had a slight rub when launching prior to the new 5/16 drag springs and big bore shocks. My fenders are not cut or rolled. Hope this helps. :D

You can fit a 335/25/19 with absolutely no rubbing whatsoever on the stock rims with no mods to the fenders. Anything bigger you may need drag bags.

Now go do a search on a topic that has been discussed 1,236 times so that you don't have blind faith in some dude telling you to fit the wrong size rubber on your goat.
