Default ttm tire size?

Yes I looked and maybe I am just blind. But here it is....ordered 17x9 45mm offset, and 17x10.5 44mm offset. Do not want to run a 315 on rear. Was wondering what size I can run in front and rear with those size rims and not have any problems. I have the stock 98t/a rims soo my tires now are 245's all around. Help is appreciated!!!

There are really not many choices between 275 and 315 for a 17 inch wheel. 285 is about it. I have not really seen a 295 or 305 size with an appropriate sidewall for a 17 in wheel. Does not mean they are not out there, but do not seem to be common.

You could go 245/45 or 255/45 front and 285/40 rear but depending on the brand, they may look a tad 'stretched'. People safely put 275s on 10" wheels all the time so I see no reason why a 285 (10mm wider) wouldnt work on a wheel .5in (12.7mm) wider...

Why not just go with the recommended sizes?

I still might, but if I can go with the 255 and 285, I would rather go with that. I just dont care for the look of the 315's on the rear. Just personal preference.
