time has come where i need new tires, im looking at the nitto INVO tires, i found a used set of them with a lot of tread left all 4 for $240 which is good cause they are $153 each new they are 255/50/17 which are too big for up front but my question is will that size fit the rear? i figured i could buy those 4 for rear tires and get two brand new ones for up front that are 245/45/17 like i have now _________________

I had 255/50 16 on mine with tons of room.don't see why those wouldn't work. _________________ 1987 - Trans am GTA, hooker headers, Borla catback, Cat delete, CAI, 9.6 @ 75mph 1/8mile

Are you running 17x8? As long as your backspacing is OK so you don't hit the outside fender lip, they should work, but will be fairly tall. I run 255/45/17 front/rear on my car, they are about .5" taller than stock, going to a 255/50 will be even taller.
Is that the only size you can get that tire in? I would probably not run something that tall on my car, unless it was my only option. |
