quick wheel question hey guys,
i am gettin the black zr1s from tomzwheels soon, and i want to get the 17 x 9.5 and 17 x 11 package. my plan is to put my current tires on the front 275/40/17 and get 315/35/17 for the back......my questions are, will the differance in sidewall height be noticable and other than BFH mod, will i have any clearance issues? i am on stock suspension, good ol' 4x4,lol.
The rear tires i want are either Mickey Thompson DR's or BFG KD
Will the bump stop have to be trimmed even if i am on stock suspension?
thanks
kevin

Those sizes are like a perfect match. You will not notice any difference at all
You might be ok with stock ride height, but I really wouldn't chance it. I chopped my rears tires a little so I ended up buying the roller and heat gun before I had to spend $600 on new rear tires.
If your interested I rent my heat gun and roller for $55

What are you asking?
315/35/17 is the correct size to go with the 275/40/17.
You read my thread from yesterday, the one that scared you about putting 11's on the car, pretty much everything is covered in there, and I don't feel like writing it again.
