Tire Size Help Ive had Nitto 55's on my car on all 4 corners for about 20,000 miles or so and tere are wore down pretty bad. im about to order a new set and my rims are 17x8.5...I have now 275/40's and tey didnt wear evenly at all. I was wondering what the correct tire size is for that size rim. I saw some 255/40's in the same tire and was just going to check and see what is the correct size before I mssed up and got the wrong size again.

Before I rotated them the fronts were wearing very badly on the other edges..and abviously I was putting stress on the rears from aggressive driving. Now with the roatation of the tires from fornt to back a few months ago the fronts are getting bald on the middle right side up front. What u think?

No. I havent. I never got the car aligned after getting rims and tires bout a year and a half ago. Whatever size tire I get when I order in a day or two im getting alignment. Do you still think the 275/40 is too big for a 8.5 rim? or 255/40 lil small?
Just noticed your sig...my trans am looks ust like your old one except for tha rims.

Verdad Gallardo It's either the 255 or the 275, I don't think that there is a size inbetween. And for an 8.5 inch rim, I think that the 255 would fit ok. I think that there is a sticky on this.
