Tire Size

[calypso92coupe]

Can you guys help me out! I Have a Mach 1 rear in my car right now. Has 17x10.5 with nitto 315/35/17 dr. They would not clear with the fox rear in the car at all! Im getting True Forged wheels 17x10. I was wondering whats the best size tire to go with? Im going to put some fox legnth axles in and relocation caliper brackets to make it fox width again. I would like a dr tire but open to a good traction normal tire.

Car will be in the 500-550 rwhp range.
Pics could help!

Thanks

I have 17x9.5 w/245-45-17s on mine. (stock suspension in this pic & I don't know the backspacing)
I've since added 1/8" spacers and the rears now look to fill the area better (and be more inline with the fronts)

I run 17x10 10th anniversaries on the back of my car. 275/40/17s on back. Thats about all I can fit without rubbing issues, and I dropped the quad shocks.

I run stock length axles, quads are removed, fenders rolled, 18X10 wheel with 285 tires - also run a PHB, TA and MM adjustable LCAs. Some have run a wider tire without mini tubing but I think it sacrifices the stance of the car a lot because it needs to sit higher to prevent rubbing. I also don't like the look of tires protruding outside of the fender area.
