usually all 17's ran on fbods are 17x9 or 17x95. 275/40/17 is a good size for those wheels

the guys that have 17x11's on the rear go with the 315's

Yep. The 275/40/17 size is so close to the overall stock diameter that you will not need to reprogram the PCM to keep your speedo correct. I highly recommend that size on a 8.5", 9", or 9.5" wheel.

My '98Z has on 245-50-2r16 on my stock rims.....would 275-40-17 Goodyear-E F1 tires fit that same stock rim? Eventually I am planning to purchase 17x9.5 American racing 200s (magnetallic gray spokes series 202) rims.

I have 245/45/ZR17's in the FRONT and
275/40/ZR17's in the BACK.

I love 'em.

but of course my front wheels aren't as wide, are all of your wheels the exact same size?

putting a 17 inch tire on a 16 inch wheel will not work
