I was thinking of 255/45/17, but I wanted to know if anybody else has tried to mount a tire this wide on a stock 17" rim, Razorstar to be more specific.
Thanks for your input.
Thanks for your input.
What's the widest tire that can be mounted on a stock 17" Razorstar rim ???

You're sure of that right ??????? Don't want to get stuck with 4 tires and 4 rims that don't want to live together.... :biglaugh:Imadreadhead said:

That is not considered a "safe" tire for the 7" wheels. Tirerack under specs has a listing of tires recommended for each tire size. The Special has 7.5" wheels so it can accept a wider tire. for example a 225/45/17 is considered too wide for the 7" wheel.
Yeah, that sounds right. From what I've heard, often times a narrower tire is actually more stable on a wider wheel. For example, the 225 width tire would have more sidewall strength and more cornering stability on the 7.5" wheel than the 7". I'm not totally sure if this is true, I just know I've read that in the past.D76G12 said:

Yeah, that's called "streching " the tire. That's something common among drifters.. BTW thanks for all your replies guys !!!!!! I'm gonna go with a 235/55/17 bcs I don't want to have the mushroom look with the 255's supposing they fit, bcs As Ronbo told me and I rememberd talking to Ross about this, he had trouble with his 245's wich would make the 255's nearly impossible to mount on stock 17" and I don't want any problems. Maybe that's for the best also since the 235's will be lighter also and a little cheaper. :drink:00r/t.mopar.muscle said:

That's the idea I have so far, I went with 235/55/17 on mine since I couldn't get the 245's in the tire I wanted.
