biggest size - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

jassyd8 · 03-08-2005, 08:38 PM

i am changing out my rims and tires i got 4 17x8 black bullitt rims and i wasnt sure how wide i could go prob. 245-45-17 front and 265-40-17 rear. is that gonna work?

Fosters · 03-08-2005, 08:46 PM

it'll really boil down to the brand of tires. that tire is gonna be smaller in diameter than the 245/45/17 tire. you'd need to go to a 275/40/17 to stay at the factory diameter.

when it comes to 275s, not all 275s are created equal. I'd highly advise against (although it is doable) putting BFGs or goodyears in that size on an 8 inch rim, yet nittos (dr's or not) would be a fairly good tire for that size.

good luck finding a 265/40 tire too... that's not a very common size.

I have the 265/40/17s on my stock rim and they fit fine. They are toyo T1-S tires

Wicked, how are those tires for hooking up? Do you run them at the track?

04DSG Mach · 03-11-2005, 10:52 PM

I wouldn't worry about it jassyd8, pretty much any brand of tire in the size 265/40 will fit fine on your bullitts. Personally, I would go with some BFGoodrichs which I know will fit fine.

I just bough 17x10.5 black chrome AFS wheels and I was wondereing if they will fit on my 2003 Mach 1, I lowered it 2 inches also if that makes a difference?

machgsxr · 11-10-2006, 10:59 AM

DEAD THREAD.

Yes the rims would fit. I run the 17x10.5 factory finish on my 03 Mach lowered.

BTW-Welcome to the reg.

Mach1speed12 · 11-14-2006, 10:09 AM

Also I bought 17x9 in the front and i was wondering if my old tire 275x35 will fit a nine inch rim?

Perfect size tire for a 9 inch rim

chris82 · 11-14-2006, 11:41 AM

i am running bridgestone fuzions 275/40 /17's on my stock rims and they are perfect.

wrong.... a 275/35/17 will be too low profile for a 17x9 inch rim.. he needs a 275/40/17

I missed the 35 series part I was only considering a 40 series and 275's are perfect... my bad!

DevilChrono · 11-20-2006, 08:03 PM

what would be a good size tire for a 17x10.5" wheel?

mach1_03 · 11-21-2006, 12:14 AM

315/35/17

1meanmach · 12-17-2006, 11:22 PM

I hate to bring this back from the dead but will a 275/40 drag radial fit on a 17x8?

All I know is a 275-40-17 Pirelli PZero fits on the stock 17x8 rims...the side wall bulges a slight bit but it works just fine, don't know how they compare to DR's. Probably the same.
