i need to get some new rubber for the mach and was wondering what is the widest tire you can get on stock rims?
how wide of a tire

I would go 275/40R17
be careful on which 275s you get too... some brands will run a helluva lot larger than the others. BFG 275s are huge, so are Goodyear Eagle GS-D3s. Nitto 275s are perfect for the stock rims on the other hand...
The mach 1 rim is a 17x8, the biggest you can go is 255, if you want bigger you will have to go with a 17x9.
I had a 275 nitto on my stock rim, it bulged a bit. The only downside it the middle of the tire wore out before the sidewalls.
I run a 275/40 Fuzzion, They are cheap but hook really well
thanks guys, i was thinkin 275/40 dr's in back and 275/40 triple 5's in front. what do u guys think
i want to see some pics of these 275's on 17x8 mach 1 wheels.

No offense, but I think that sounds stupid. Waaaaayyyyy to big of a tire for the stock wheel.
:nono:
Just pony up and get some new wheels.

The 275s will fit a 17x8 wheel. I ran them on the bullitt until I bought the 17x9s and 17x10.5s. You can also slove the problem of the center wearing out faster if you run about 22lbs of air in them. The car will handle fine and the lower pressure will give you a bigger contact patch.
my 275's

From that angle those tires look just fine. Any more pics?
yea those look fine too me.
damn, they look good. I was told that 255 was the biggest on a 17x8 wheel. Im glad i was proven wrong. My bad folks.
I would like some more pics to. Like from the rear, see how wide they look.
more pics

it really depends on the brand of the tire... 275 BFGs will look like baloons on there. 275 nittos and kumhos will look just about right.

nittos are even smaller than kumhos... 315 nittos are actually a tad too small for 10.5" rims...

Agreed. I wish they had a Nitto DR in a 335/35 or 30 for the 10.5s. They would fit a little better.
But the 10.5" ROCK! :rockon:
how much bigger is a 275 then a 245? How many inches? Could i expect a inch wider, or a half a inch?
