Default will 275/45/17 drag radials look weird on my stock ws6 wheel and lowered susp.

I found a deal on a set of used 275/45/17 Nitto d/r but im kinda worried about how it would look on my car. It is lowered with eibach prokit and I dont want it to have the joe dirt big tires in the rear look.

Opinions....pics...comments

Thanks

The front tires are 274/40/17

I didn't even know they came in that size.

What is the diameter on them?

no I was refering to the overall height
a 40 series is 26" tall so at 45 that would make it an additional
5% off of the 275, I am thinking maybe it's 26.5" tall or .5" tall from a 40 series

26.7 diameter , so an inch bigger . They will look a little bigger, but you will be fine . I ran 275 40 18 and loved the ride of it in the rear and it was a little taller but not a huge deal and most never noticed im sure.

It will give a slight rake, but I bet most would never even notice.

Do it.

It's not like you are tucking a 28" slick in there.
