Default Tire size for 17 x 8 rim?
I am swapping my rims out and doing 17 x 8 up front and 17 x 11 in the rear. What tire do I need to buy to fit on those 17 x 8s and it not be bulgy on the sides?

A good 245 tire will be perfect. I personally ran 255/40/17 nittos when I had my 17x8's. Since you want absolutely no bulge a 245 would be a good size.

I was thinking a 245 would still bulge a tad and a 235 would be good? I really have no experience with it so I am just speculating but I want absolutely no bulge on the sides wince they will be on the front.
