Question Tire Size

Hello everyone. I'm ordering 17"x9" wheels today, and will use 275/40/17 Nittos in the rear. My question is--can i use 245/40/17 tires in the front? Will this size affect the handling of my car any? Thanks for any help. Fingers

Why not just use the stand 275/40/17 size up front as well?

Your car will set a little lower in the front as compared to the back but I don't think it will greatly affect the handling. If it were mine, I would not do this and would instead do 275/40/17 up front too.

I agree, go 275 all the way around. 245 wouldnt look the greatest with the 275's in the back. If you really want to, get 315's for the rear and 275's up front. thats the max you can use on 4th gen's without doing much modifications. I'm personally going 275's all the way around.

275's all around. It looks good to. Plus you can rotate to get the maximum use out of them
