Too tall for what? I have 255.40.17's up front and 275.40.17's out back. No rub,no issues.
well i want to run 235/55/17 out back, its 15mm taller then your tires. i dont know if that will rub the fender wells. just seeing if anybody has done it. im running the same back tires as you right now vinnie
Isn't that a narrower tire though? It should be fine.15mm isn't really that much,and my tires still have a lot of room from the top of the tire to the inner fender.I even have a little room left to the outer fender.
alright great to know! thanks vinnie!
Glad I could help.
I think youre a bit mislead by tire dimensions. A 235/55/17 is 1.5 inches (38.1mm) taller than a 275/40/17. The aspect ratio (40, 55) is a percentage of the tread width, not an actual measurement.
I'd still have enough room in the rear fenders for that kind of added height.
