Anybody running 17" Cobra Bullit rims on a Duster
Yeah the tie rod clearance could be nice, but for myself I don't think I'll ever run wider than the 245s on the front. When I decided to go to a wider rear tire, I was a little bummed out with the tire hooves in a 17. I wanted a big fat radial. I wound up going with a 315 but on the duster it looks like there is still room for more if your cutting anyway, just not a lot of choices in a 17 for a regular radial. I'm running 275 on the back now and a 315 isn't really that much wider when you compare them.
If the price is right and you aren't going to miss the cash, buy them. You could always narrow a housing to fit. Just make sure you will be able to find a matching front rim.
