Is anyone running 17x10 in the rear?

I just picked up a set of rims with a pair being 17x10 w/275/40zr17 tires. Will this size pose a problem?

Thanks.

i got 17x9 cobra r's w/275/45/17 and they rub a little bit on big bumps and sharp turns :cool:
 
What is the offset of the wheels? If it's too negative, the tires will be sticking out of the fenders. If it's too positive, you may have interference with your parking brake cables. What type of car were the rims bolted on before?

Micah Miller has 18x10s on the back of his SC, but the extra 1" diameter would help for the brake cable clearance.


cheers,

I run 17x9.5 with 285/40/17 Michelins. I believe I ended up with about a 6.5" backspacing. The offset is around 32mm to 36mm. There isn't too much room left in back! The fenders were rolled and flared slightly. That 10" rim might be a little too much. In any event it will be a tight fit.
 
i got 17 x 10 niche bahn with 285/40 gsc run flats. no rubbing just grip. :)
17 x 10 with 255/45 in front no problems there either. 1.5 inch drop.

These are off a BMW. MK Motorsport MK1. 17x8.5 are going in the front. They are going to the machinist for some re-drilling and to the chrome shop for a quick dip.
