Have a chance to pick up a set of 17" irocs w/tires. Wondering what is the maximum size tire I can put on the rims without rubbing issues? I assume the 17's will work on a 1st gen. I searched a saw a few with them on.

245 or 255 for the back and 225 for the front but i may be wrong is the b/s 4

It really depends on the width and backspacing of the rims.

Typically 17x9.5 w/ 5.5 inch backspace can fit 275s, may have to roll fender lip, in the rear and 17x8 w/ 4.75"-5" can run 245s up front. Always best to measure first, or in your case install wheels and see what kind of clearence you have before ordering tires.

thanks guys for the info. at least it gives me an idea.

I have 225 and 255/45's on my car now AND wished I would have found 50's instead!

And maybe even 55's b/c the sidewalls to me are kinda thin, imho, is all.

But I'm finally a converted "old-school" guy that's used to seeing E-60 and GREAT BIG L-60/14's on my car...
