Absolute biggest tires that fit on 17 by 7.5 wheels?

[Liv4Spd]

The subject heading said it all. My car is a 93 cobra, and the wheels have an 18mm offset. Only other thing that might make a difference is I am planning on going to the Baer M2300k "killer" system, and the is lowered with bilsteen/whitline. Frankley I don't see how it would interfear but I thought I would mention it. Thanks! :rolling:

I'd say 245's, but it'd be pushing it if you plan on cornering.

245's came stock on my car, I figured for sure I would be able to fit somthing alittle bigger?

i have 255 and have been told 275 will fit with no problems

265/45's prolly, 40 series would still be too tall. 275's sit dead straight up on an 8" rim(proper orientation) 275's may buldge out a bit, id go 265

I know 255s will fit on the rear but will 255 45's work on the front also?

I personally wouldnt go past 255, 275's will fit but with added side wall flex when you go through turns.

Shouldnt this be in tech?
