Why would somone run a 245/45/17 on all 4 corners on 98-02 ws6???

Is there any benefit to this? Also the tires deff looked way stretched, should I confront the owner and attempt to get him to at least go back to a 275? Hell im running a 285 in the rears of mine?!!!


Cliffs, is running a 245/45/17 street tire a good or bad idea On a 98+ ws6 and why?

Oh i think the rims were zr1s or replica, had slp center caps... Maybe he saw a 245/45 on the front of a vette and is just ignorant?

There is benefit. It's called maybe the guy got a damn good deal on the tires and maybe he needed a set ASAP.

I have them up front on my car right now. I got a huge deal on them. With that said, I liked the 255/40/17's a TON more.

The guy has differant brands all around... Im asking if there is a benefit because they look stupid...and WAY stretched on the front and semi stretched in rear..

@ISMELLRICE i would of thought your sense of smell is better. The tires are the "hella flush" on a damn trans am.... Rice is rice, and although at 65 his speedo will be off .05 mph it still looks stupid.

Maybe the guy just doesn't know since the wheels are not factory eaither.

I worry about anyone who makes my favorite types of cars look retarded... And especially when people ghetto out hot rods..

I'm currently running 245/45/ZR17's on all 4 corners on 9.5's all the way around... it doesn't look bad at all. I'm lowered however so that helps with the look.

If you're talking about the car in your sig pic, then I will have to respectfully disagree on the "doesn't look bad" part.

Anyway, back to the original question...maybe he's trying to save some money or maybe these are his winter wheels. Skinnier tires are better in the snow and rain than wider tires.

could have been tire store choice more so? i had to get 245/40s on the front only cause anything taller would rub the inner fender on the right side. After checking it out i noticed my kmember sits 1/8" or so forward on the right. Ill straighten it out and get 275s when these wear out since i just had it aligned.

If it bothers you this bad. Go buy him the tire you feel he needs. I have to run a 265/35 cause the next size up wasn't available at the time. On the front. Its just a car.

Key words... your "favorite" types of cars. NOT your car.

Why dont you just buy the guy a brand new set of tires of your choice and right size since it bothers you so much.

Who the **** cares.. Those tires are alot cheaper and maybe the guy doesn't have much money to buy a bigger size let alone replace one.. How old r u?

9WhiteCamaro9

Tech needs to do a "Like" and "Dislike" button, lol. Would make things a lot easier if had said button.



Probably not old enough to know what it likes to actually have to buy them his/her self yet and I'm guessing he/she won't be back. Doesn't seem to frequent this thread since all the more talk on here about his/her ignorance.
