Default 265/40/17 with a 58mm offset

I tried searching and did not find anything....

Will a 265/40/17 with a 58 mm offset rim fit on the front without rubbing anything?

What size wheel? 58 is a pretty big offset, and those tires are tiny.

it is a 17 by 8.5 inch 58mm offset rim with a 265/40/17 tire.


Not to be an *** but, doesnt the 17 in my tire discription somewhat give away the rim size?

No, in no way does it advertise the width of the wheel.

It could be anywhere from a 17x7 to a 17x11. Pretty easy guess, right?

Diameter tells me absolutely nothing . . . the width of the wheel is everything when you tell me an offset . . .

So to your question wil a 58 mm offset 8.5" wide wheel fit . . . yes, but the appearnce will not be ideal. It will be too deep into the wheel well.

sorry i did not think about the width while i was posting, so i shouldnt have any issues with the tire rubbing the inner fender well when the wheel is turned all the way in one direction. Sorry for all of the questions, they keep coming up as i go... Thanks alot for the help and being patient
