Default 17" Wheel guys, please post tire numbers!

Hey everyone,

Just ordered some 17" wheels, and was wondering if y'all could post your tire numbers (e.g. 275/60R15), so I can figure out what most of you are running for tire diameters to fit the wheel wells.

As well, any of you running 17x8 wheels? What tread width do you run with those?

I wanted to go 17x9 or 17x9.5 on the rear, but my car (older NW exotics) just wouldn't have it.

Thanks soo much.

Lance

Kumho Ecstasa V70 front 245/45 ZR17 (8 inch rim) and rear 315/35 ZR 16 onn 10,5 inch.

But also Hossier has tyres in 17 inch which are perfect for race + street ( only on dry weather) see also www.rogerkrausracing.com - he has even a special page for Cobra's.

Goodyear Eagle f1 D3's 255/40/17 on 8.5" front and 315/35/17 on 10.5" rear.

I love the combo as they are very sticky and a pretty smooth ride.
