Tires for SVT rims

[94MassSHO]

What tires would be good to run on the 17 X 7 SVT T-Bird Rims? Thanks in advance.

If you mean the size, I went with 235/45/17. Going higher than 235 is a littly risky on 7" rims. Heres a pict. of this size.

I second Steve. Also, don't go below a 45 series tire, as you'll open the rim up to pothole damage.

Are your red calipers OEM? Thanks.

Yeah, I took the entire assembly apart and sandblasted everything. I even blasted the shield behind. I then put on about 5 coats of high temp paint.

I just purchase 17x7.5x43mm offset Chrome SVT T-Bird wheels from KarKraft.com and I went with 245/45/17 Kumhos. These wheels and tires were put on my 97 Sho. I hope that this helps.

Most run either 225/50-17 or 235/45-17 tires on the SVT T-bird 17 x 7.0" rims.
