yea they are 275/30. i wanted 285/40 but i bought them as a set and thats what it came with. The ruff 278's are discontinued and the only place that can get them is VQmotoring. They are the worst company i ever bought from honestly. Took them a month to even ship the wheels. And they lied to me consistantly.

Luv the lip on those; it looks good just wish the rears were wider. A 1inch drop would really make your car look mean with those on.

^^-- I agree with him. Lips are awesome but the widths are not.

I'm running 275/30/19's all the way around and they don't look thin to me at all...but my car is lowered with a Pro-Kit. I'm thinking once he gets it lowered a bit, it won't look as thin...

Not saying 275s are thin personally but I think Fbodys need rims made for 295s or better (and that's the reason I sold my Stern 18x8.5 and x9.5 )
