Im trying to go wider in the back I have stock 17s on 03 GT , If i go 275/35 would it look right and would it rub? cause I have seen many other post and some say there is no rub and some say thats to big that i would have problems.

Also anyone have some for sell ? Or know of a cheap spot in sac.

Thank you

Forgot to mention im dropped 2"

You will want to run 275/40/17 size tires and yes they will fit fine with no rubbing.

Here is a good deal on some.

If you had wider rims, like 17x10.5's you could run 315/35/17 rear tires also with no problem.
