Ill admit it, I am an Idiot. Can someone (or a collection of someone's) explain tire sizes to me?
I have purchased a second set of back (stock) rims, and plan on putting drag radials on them. Finding some tires to fit these rims has proved to be less than easy. I was told that a 245/55/17 fits perfectly. What the hell does 245 mean, can I go 275? What does 55 mean, can I go 45? I think that I cannot go 18, without rub. Not sure. I am a tire idiot. :drink:
Oh, and if our Aussie firends read this, I meant tYre.
