17 inch wheels, how do they look & perform?
Yeah but people that run 245 square run 245/40 front and 245/45 rear.. 245/35 is like rubber band tires
Sorry I wasnt clear.. I ment the actual hight of the tire, not the 245 portion.

That's a pretty big delta... but would probably work fine on the track given a little extra width and slight gearing advantage but THINK it might look a bit funny on the street with that extra fender gap.

Personally, I wouldn't go down to 17s (lot more tire choices in 18) but that's just my pref.
Oh, and yes, the 255s will fit just fine on a 9.5" wheel.

This 255/40 275/40 17 set-up looks good especially if the car was lowered a bit...
Ive been going back and forth for weeks on new tires and wheels... I even considered a 17-18 stagger with 275/40 tires... Just because 275/40/17s are about the same height as stock fronts

I donno for the price I would say they better be... I was thinking those $108 specials were right up my alley... That and this sweet deal.http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...kageFlow=false
Unfortunately the offset is not ideal.. But that price though. $950 for new tires and wheels...
