Im in desperate need for new tires for my X. Since its Supercharged, it has the 265/65/17's on it. Anyone know if a 275/65/17 will fit ok? I sure the hell hope so because I ordered them anyway. :D

I bet there is no problem, there should be plenty of room
You might check the speedometer afterwards, but mine runs slow anyways, so I think they don't make any changes for the 17" rim at the factory

TireRack actually called me today to say they didnt guarantee them to fit. I told them to send them anyway. I would understand if I was trying to install 20's on a Civic or something...... :rolleyes:

But a person would be more worried if the 20's are gonna fit the civic than if a 275 will fit the X.

They will fit as long as they're mounted on spinning chrome rims.

J/K :D

You should have no problems, thats really not a big increase on a 4X4.....

Well they do fit. Looks a hell of alot better than the stock size too. They do rub in the front, but only when turned to full lock. I'll figure out how to post a pic.

Make a regular post and below the box where you type the message you will see Additional Options. In that area you will see a button that says Manage Attachments. Just click that and point it to the picture on your computer. You can add several pictures to a single post.

I have a set of Toyo's on mine and they rub on tight turns. I had to take off the extentions on the mud guards.

Not to get off the subject, but I must vent.......

Does anybody know what those splash guards are good for? I know they cost extra, and are itemized on the sticker as an option I took mine off because mud and snow builds up all the way to the tire. They are perfectly molded to retain any solid material until it melts off or kicked off ....and in front of the front tires, no inner fender? I had to make a probe to put on the water hose to clean behind the lower bumper area that holds up to 40lbs of mud and gravel per side?????????????//////
