Default Weld wheel 15/17 combo

Hey guys. I got 325-50-15s for the rear and I'm going with weld 17x9s for up front. Just wondering what tire I need to use to prevent from getting the engine drag code... I know the tire height needs to be about a inch or so apart

Just look up the heights for the tires that fit that rim. That's all anyone else can do for your answer.

I have Jody.... only thing I'm really seeing is a 275-40-17 and that's nearly 2 inches shorter then the 325-50-15.... just wondering if that will give me any codes?

Probably will. Ive run up to 1.3 difference with no issues. Never went more than that. Doesn't somebody make a 275/45/17.. might be closer.

Personally, I prefer 18s in front, but that ship has sailed it guess.

NO it's not as I don't have them ordered yet. What 18 tire would you recommend.... I can order the 18x9.5 wheel that's no issue

I just had a good chat with Anthony at LG and he said it's no problem to use the 17x9 as long as I turn off all the driver aids... this is no problem for me anyway.
