    275/40 17 on a 9 inch rim without spring relo???
    « on: January 30, 2005 - 10:50:45 PM »
    Is it possible to fit 275/40 on all 4 corners with 9 inch rims without spring relo kit? 5 inch backspace on the rims. wil it work with a rolled fender lip and a spacer?l

    I believe you wil have a problem with the front tire rubbing the frame rail in front on tight turns

    if i rolled the fender lip and used a thin spacer would that work?  And you think I will be ok in back?

    Kowalski man,

    rear is ok with 5" backspacing w/275's w/o fender mods or relo kit. just throw them in and give it a pedal  :grinyes:
    Front will be problem with 275, like CP said the inner will rub. depending on the ride height also the fender opening will rub when you turn.. so smaller tire in front, OR heavy high riser  :grinno:

    well, if ya raise the front end high ... but that's not gonna be a good thing in a highway over 80mph, grabs some air under and you'll "float"  :nono:
