Looking for some used stickies with a little life left in them. Hooisers, azenis, whatever.

can you squeeze 295's? I have them on 10" rims, which is perfect. I've seen them on 17x9's, but they're pretty squeezed. I have a pair with 88 runs on them (fronts). On my car, they'd last another 50 easily. Always covered/bagged when not running. $140 pr

...forgot to mention they're 295/35-17, so height shouldn't be an issue.

I have 17x9s, Probably a bit of a squeeze to get those on. Bet I could find a cheap pair of 17x10s though... hmm....

I'll keep those in mind.

I'm a dumba$$. I was thinking about the 315's on 17x9....sorry. I have some 295's on 17x9's and they're fine. A little crowded, perhaps, but not much. I can take a pic if you're interested in the tires.

I'll second Wade being a dumbass. I have some 295's on 9" rims and they fit and work great. I've got some 335's on 10" rims that are fine too.

Made a trip to Frederick and picked up a set. Should have the wagon at the next autocross. :twisted:

Thanks Fred!
