Unless your drag racing you don't want a 275 on a 7" wheel, (body role from hell) ....Unless you have camber plates, and rolled fenders 275's in general will be tough...

they might be able to fit but it is not safe at all. 225 is the biggest you could possibly go on a 17*7 and that all depends on the tire manufacturer. i personally would get some fd wheels and put 245's on them.

i would like to fill my whole rear wheel well, withth eflared fenders i can put up to 11 inch wide tire in the rear, so thats what in aiming for,, as for the tires fitting i ws wrong you can stuff 275 on a 8 to 8.5" wide rim, so now i need a good 16 or 17 by 8.5

I had these rims before
I had the MR8 18's w/225/40/18s on my 8810th A.E. I had the middle painted white to go w/my A.E. I really liked those wheels and then only weighted about 17lbs each. I know that the smaller ones are 14-15lbs. I took them off b/c I got my hands on a set of tenzo SR5's that are white in the middle and had alittle bit more of a lip than the other. I think that the wheels w/the wide lip on them look better. Just my .02$ good luck .

My 225's seem really close to the front suspension setup. If I were running some Tiens maybe a 245 would fit.
Would a 245 rub the fender liner while turning?

the 245's would rub but i'm using spacers for the front. with the wide fender kit and the spacers the 245's should fit perfectly. as for the rear, the 275's with the fender flares on 17x8.5 rims would fit perfectly also.
