Just wanted to see if you guys think that a 275/60/17 will fit ok on my R/T i was leaning toward the kuhmos as well because the price is right.

you shouldnt have any problems, the 275 is a bit wider but you should be ok. iwould have the shop you were ging to test fit them first though, just to make sure.

Ok you guys are picking some odd sizes there.

if a tire is a 285/70/17

285 is the width in cm's
70 is the percentage of the width(285) in height
17 is the wheel diameter.

Yall don't realize it but those tires are huge. I have 265/60/18's, and they are a lil bigger than I wanted. Having 17" wheels is different, but not that much.

It handles pretty good the back bumpstops have to be cut alot so you don't bottom out all the time. If ya dont want something that low a 2/3 drop would be prefect.
