Does anyone make 305/40/17 tires?
I would like to stick with 27" diameter tires (approximately). I can find 275/50/17's but nothing bigger. Is that all there is?

I want to go wider not taller. I would like to stick with a 27 inch diameter to fill out the wheel well. Right now I am thinking about 275/50-17 in the back and 245/50-17 in the front. I would really like to go wider in the back but cant really find much. I will check the 335's. Do you know what brand the Mustang tires are?

I cannot find anyone making 335/40's or 335/45's x 17. I have to ask this again, does anyone make a tire wider than 275 in a 17 that is about 27 inches in diameter. If there is, please let me know the size and the manufacturer.

You can run a 10inch wide rim with 315/35/17 ....offset trailing arms would be the way to go ....and no fender flares required ....Feb 2004 had a nice 69 with offset arms running 315/35/17 rear ....If you want a picture I,ll find it and post ...

The tallest 17's that i ever owned were 285/40/17 Good year F1 Z rated steel. I don't think that they make them anymore, but i've got a set with half the tread.
