72 Chevelle:

Front - 245/45/17 17x8 4.75" backspace
Rear - 295/45/17 17x9 5.5" backspace

I want to tuck the top of the tire under the wheel well. Will these work?? Thanks.

Mike.

Who makes a 295-45-17?

Welcome aboard. Who manufactures a 295/45R17?

 

[MikeZ06]

Thanks guys. Coy's told me that Hankook just came out with that size I think the model is V4. They have a nice aggressive tread. I have 275s on a 15" rim now but want to go to a 17" with 295s or 305s. I want to get a rim/tire package from them but I don't wat to eat them if they won't tuck under. Anyone know if it'll work?

That front combo will fit like a glove. As for the rear,it should work well if that tire diameter isn't excessive. A 295/45 sounds kinda tall,though.

 

[MikeZ06]

I think they said the height was a little over 27" . Anyone know for sure if I'll be O.K.? Thanks.

Mike.

Should be about 27.5 talland 11.6 wide.

 

[Mr Nick]

I didn't see anything about them on Hankook's website, but I would think you should have a 295 tire on a 10" wide rim, not a 9" ?

 

[MikeZ06]

Coy's said they're new. And you're right for wondering about the width, because 295's I was looking at in Summit calles for a 9.5" rim. I will double check that. Thanks.

Mike.
