Default Bought New Tires
My dad's buddy had these laying around his shop, so I got them for a DIRT CHEAP price

But the fronts size is small

front- 255/60/17 Kumho Ecsta #711

rear- 275/40/17 Sumitomo HTR-Z

Will the fronts look goofy on my 10 spoke wheels? 255 on a 9'' rim shouldn't be TOO bad.....

Just looked at the tires...they're 255/40/17

I think they should look fine, as long as it's not a 50/60 series !

They may be a bit short and narrow, however if the price is right then f*ck it......... huh? Look at it this way.... It's a staggered tire combo. Should handle quite well???? IMO

TT LS2, they will be a little bit narrower, but I don't think the 255 vs 275 will be too bad....I'll just say I run "skinnies" up front

I'll post pics when they're mounted this weekend....
