MONTE CARLO Anyone running 255/265/275-40-17 on the front of a g body

[Haley72692]

Looking to run 255,265 or 275-40-17 on my 88 monte ss on 17x9 wheels, I know I can fit them on the rear no problem but mostly just wondering how they look on the front and if the fender liners can be retained or not. So if you have those tire sizes on the front of your g body some pics would be great, don’t worry about offset/backspace as I’ll be running adapter spacers anyway

I had c5 17x8.5's on the front of my GP with 275/40/17's. I just needed something to roll the car around on and they were $100 for the set with tires.

I would NOT run 275's up front again. They do sit flush but bind pretty bad on turns with the frame so cutting the inner fenders out didnt really do much. 255's should fit but most people run a 245/45/17 up front.

I'm running 275/35/18's all the way around. 5.25" backspacing. Notched to the seam in the back, RideTech front suspension. I have no rubbing at all, ever...

That's my personal car with a 275/40-17 and a 17x9.5 on all 4 corners and looking back. I wish that I went 18. With a stock upper control arm things are a bit tighter than I would like and I found that the tie rod is a bit closer to the wheel than I care for.

Thanks guys, after looking at pictures all night I’m actually considering going with 18’s too 😅 probably either 265 or 275-35-18

I have run 98 Camaro SS Zr1 wheels with 275/40/17's in the past, and now have the Year One N90's with 255/45's.
