I ran 315/35/17s on mine.

Thats exactly what i run and it fits perfect. 4.5" backspacing.

i know that different brand wheels have different width measurements on their tires, so not all 315's are created equal in terms of their fitment. Make sure to post up what brand tires your running. I'd love a 315, but on a 9.5" width wheels I just don't know. Definitely have to run the numbers before buying.

295/45 is the way to go. You get a 17" wheel with a tire that still has some meat.

If your straight line go with the 295 if you want both go with the 275. The 295 is a taller side wall for sure.

Mine don't rub at all. I'm using cargo springs. When I had lowering springs it would rub on a big dip in the road sometimes but I didn't have air bags in at the time.

 

[Shwab]

do you happen to know the heights of your fenders to the ground front and back.... my springs are stock and most likely sagging

So are you guys running 4.5 back spacing on all 4 corners? Im looking at puting a set of 17x9 on all 4 corners and Im trying to decide on my back spacing.

 

[IrvJr]

4.5 for sure in back. If i had to do it again i would do 4 up front.

Hmm did i do something wrong? It appears a few posts in this thread have vanished including all of mine, the link to my thread with the centerlines etc...I distinctly remember my convervation with You Like That about the rubbing issue cause mine have rubbed once on a big dip in the road i am running cargos but with no bags in them everything else stock in the rear (so far) Strange...Heres link again case it can help anyone....http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/br...heels/325101-look-what-finally-showed-up.html
