Nah... should be ok...
I put them on these wheels!

Of course they wouldn't fit on my 17" Konig Traffiks... These new wheels are a bit heavier, but still not too bad (27lbs vs. 15 lbs/wheel for the Konigs). They're two-piece forged...

I liked my Nitto 555NT Extremes......I'm assuming you got them in the US.
make sure to post pics once you get them mounted....and 275's are going to rub on the front for sure, my 18'' Extreme's rubbed slightly when turning on the front.

I think it's pretty obvious they're not for the Cougar...

I assumed so....I'm guessing a G35

He's been talking about getting a G35 for how long now? Maybe he finally picked one up...
There's gotta be someone that knows...

275's in the rear and 245's in the front sounds like a Mustang stock size for some reason. But since he's been talking about the G35....my vote remains there.

My 17's don't rub...then again 225/45 is the stock size.

Like I said, my 225/45/17 Only rub at full lock. I think 215 is stock size.

It's all about offset. ST200's are junk for anything more than 215's. In my case 225's never rubbed even when slammed ~2.5" or a bit more. I was very careful in selectng my wheels and never had any issues.

Technically, ordered. Hopefully will get soon. Little supply issue on those Nittos, so went with the T1-R's instead. Think I would've preferred the Nitto's though, based on my experience in the past with Nitto Neo Gens which I *loved*, and were *cheap*.
