What is the best size combo for 17x8 rims.
Looking for a bit more tire than stock, and it is about that time to buy some new ones.
Will 275's fit? let me know what you think?

I have 275/40/17's on my 17x8's. They work really well.

Do you have them all the way around or just the rear? Which brand do you recommend? Thanks for your help.

I've got these wheels on my 93 GT. 245/45's up front, 275/40's out back...no clearance problems at all.
