Post 95 & 98 are my car then look on the last page 01SOMZ28 has the same set I sold back to him on another car.

My fronts are 17x7 I think 4.5 BS but I'm not 100% on that. But I've got 215's on the front. I don't know how wide you could go.

Well right now I have 275 40s on the front now

A 275/50/17 on a 17x7 wheel? That is way off, that tire will rub like hell on the front.

I had a 17x7 on the front and I ran a nitto nt450 225/50/17 and it was almost too tall, but I liked how the 225 width looked on that wheel though.

I love how I started basically the same thread yesterday and no one responds to it.

Noooo I have it on my stock 17 inch ws6 rims .... I am clueless on rims and tires ....I need help but I don't want to modify ... I know the wheels need to be 17 x7

And rears 17 x 9 - 11. No clue on tire size or backspacing

Call up a reputable company and tell them what you want and they should be able to set you straight. I ordered my 17x7's from Jegs, called them up and they knew what back spacing would work, they had great prices too.

I have sold a lot of the 15 and 17" Billet Specialties wheels and can recommend the most common spacing we have sold to the different customers. I can usually at least match the big mail order companies prices too.
