Will these fit?

Just a quick question, i need to replace my rear tyres and i want to know if i can fit 255/40/17 on the following rims 17X9.0JJ with an offset of +40. At the moment i have 245 on there and they look a little stretched. Just dont want to pay for tyres that are going to rub. The car is also lowered.

Thanks

I have 265/40s on the rear on 17 inch rims with a similar offset (I can\'t definitely remember what it is, I think it\'s 40). They don\'t rub, but my cars on coilovers so ride height isn\'t standard either, but obviously I can\'t say if it\'s lower than yours or not!

id feel a right twit if they fitted the tyres and they rubbed! they wont even try one first, as soon as its ordered in its bought.... need to be 100% sure they will be ok

i really cannot see these rubbing. sparrows got 19x10.5 40et with 275 rears no rubbing so these should be fine

Hmmm - ask if they have any old/knackered tyres around in the size you\'re looking for, and use those for a test fit

If they don\'t, or they won\'t, go somewhere else

You have exactly the same set-up as me. Mine doesn\'t rub, even under hard track use. Damn close to the arch at the rear though, you couldn\'t get a fag paper up the side of the wheel. My arches are not rolled. So my experience says you\'ll be fine.

cheers
