I just bought a new set of Intro Pentia's.   17x10 rear 4.5 back space        17x8  front 4. back space. I need help on tire size. I need the widest tire that will fit the rear with no rubbing. I also want it to just fill the fender well. I am going to use fender flares. I love the low profile look but it has to fill fender well. I want to drop the profile in the front lower then the back because I want it to have the c6 stance . I was thinking 265-?-17. show me what you know.

Hey frstvbette, Be sure that the tires you pick do not rub when you turn rt. or lt. I wanted to go with bigger tires but I was afraid of the rubbing. I decided to go with 225-70 -15. I might could have gone with bigger tires but these are safe and look good. Good Luck, Gene

well just found out that the front has a 5. back space on the front. Im going to try the wheel on with out tire to see how it fits. beause I want flares in the rear and I found outt the rear wheels has 5.5 back space, Im going with a half inch spacer and run some 295 45 in rear.  You can only do this with a 17 or 18 inch wheel.
