so, im looking into putting 275's out back on the stock 17's.

im going with the Sumitomo HTRZ 2's again, as they performed perfectly for me with this set.

my question is, if i go 275 in the back, i have to get a 40 height instead of the 245 45 17's up front.

do you think it will be a noticeable difference? will it look goofy?

any pics of similarly sized setups would be GREATLY appreciated.

thanks!

The middle number is a % of the first. Do the math and you will see that the sidewall is nearly identical

both sizes show a diameter of 25.7

Check out the link, it is a great tool when trying to match up tire sizes
