Tire size

Got 245/40/17 on the Mustang and would like to transfer these to the 5. Got H&R Sports and Factory 17's......think they'll go without issues?

Doesn´t look good, the usual allowed threshold in variation is +/-3%

But then, 1 lousy % ;)

Thanks Bo....I think I'll give it a try, have them mount the two fronts and see. I don't think I'll have any issues with the rear.
I was thinking also that it depends so much on the tire manufacturer also, seems that you can have identical size tires by two different companies and have a significant amount of variance.

Thx,

the std 17 in size is 235 45 so i dont think you will have any trouble.The front might rub at full lock or full compression
