Anyone using 255 45 17 front tires
 
Hi guys,

I am looking for new front tires, was looking at 245 45 17 however thinking about 255 45 17. Rears are a 285 40 17 which has a similar rolling diameter to a 255 45 17, the 245 45 are just a bit smaller however visually would provide that slightly raked look.

I cant seem to find any images of 255 45 17's to see if they look right or wrong.

So, any feedback appreciated.

Cheers.

I've got 245/45/17's on the front and 315/35/17's on the rear.

Cheers

Me too. On a Backdraft. Nitto NT01s, looks great and stick like fungus.

I've got 245/45/17's on the front and 315/35/17's on the rear.

I have 255s on the front and 315s on the rear.

I have 315 x 17 on the front and 335 x 17 on the rear

Only 1000mm between front tyres and 1100 between the rears

315 on the front! How the steering? Do you have power steering?

AC-460 04-09-2011 06:51 PM

No power steering.....Suprisingly the steering is easy...its only 550kg on the front
rims are zero offset and tend to roll not screw...

315s on the front, looking through the pix and it sits nice.

Given the choices I will be going to a 245 45 which will sit well with a 315 35 rear later.

Appreciate the responses and AC-460, that looks awesome.

Cheers.
