Anyone running 245's on the front?
Was thinking about going w/ 245/45/17 NT555's on the front and 275 555R's on the rear. I have a 98 WS6 w/ the stock 17x9s. If so got pics to share?

Thanks Mikey. Got the 245's for the front and 275 DR's for the rear on the way. I'll post up lots of pics of the fronts tomorrow when they're installed.

I'm due for tires soon and am leaning towards the 245/275 combo. I'm sure it's very subtle, but a narrower tire typically won't chase road imperfections as much. ...Most of the roads here in WI suck.

I have 2002 35th anniversary rims. With my spacers up front, I had a little rubbing. Switched to 245/45/17 and now have no issues. No spacers on back, 2002 rear axle with 275/40/17. Really cant tell unless you look really hard.

1lomaro i cant believe those chase the imperfections in the road as bad as 275's by a long shot, it just wouldn't make sense logically... But i do have to ask, what posessed you to put those wheels on your car? This is only my opinion, and shouldn't count for anything as it is your car, but i really don't think those are good looking wheels on anything, much less a t/a.

245's on the front, 285's in the back, although now I have 275's out back. And yes, they do grab road imperfections. I will admit that I have to change my steering rack and hoses, but that won't keep the tires from grabbing the road imperfections.
