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.

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:
Yep! I think he meant 245/45 since that's the stock Special size and it does come w/a 7.5 x 18" ...00r/t.mopar.muscle said:But don't the treps come stock with a 225 width tire on a 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:Yep! I think he meant 245/45 since that's the stock Special size and it does come w/a 7.5 x 18" ...
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:Yeah, that sounds right.

I just cmae across this thread again. So you've had no problems using the 245 width on the stock 7" wide wheels?In2Deep said:A lot of us are running 245/45-17's... :biggrin: Much easier to find...
