Isn't that size stock on the fronts of the SS's?

It shouldn't rub, there won't be anything different with the body panels.

The stock size on the 17" Stock SS rims (both zr1 rims and 10 spokes) is 275 Goodyears.....245s arent wide enough for the 17" rims your best off getting the same size....why would you get tires not as wide?

blue89vert 04-03-2007 09:33 PM

my bad

I run 275/45/17's on the front with no problems.

I currently have 275/45/17's on the back and 245/40/17's on the front with 315 DR's on the 11" wide ZR1's I have.

I have run 275/45/17's up front in the past and there's no problems with rubbing at all.

Why wouldn't they be wide enough? The GM ZR1's and such are 9" wide while the aftermarket ones are 9.5" and I fit 245's on them just fine.

You could do either 275, or 245... Ive heard of rubbing issues with 275s, but I think youll be fine.

Ive heard from some people that 245s wont fit on the GM ZR1s or 10 Spokes? Maybe I head wrong then :)

i would stay with the same size so you can always rotate your tires if your on a budget

or if you going for a certain look of dip in the front.....or same height all around

CHINGON 04-05-2007 02:42 AM

U should be fine with 275's, thats what I have on my car and I don’t have any problems.

Z28killah 04-05-2007 05:03 PM

yes you can put 275's in front....they do fit i looked into it for my camaro and they do not change your speedo reading..its is .06% change. Also if you do 275's all around you can rotate them...cant do that with 245's
