will 275/40's fit on a 7" rim

[Louvit]

Ihave some nice 17" Nittos and a 7"wheel...what ya think?

It will be close...if you can find a shop that will even try it. I had 255/50/16 on a 16x7 several years ago and they struggled to get the tire on. You're going to 275 but I'm not sure if the shorter sidewall will make it an easier fit.

I thought you told me they were 295s before, that's why I said hell no.

[Louvit]

no, no 295,'s...lol they are 275 and I thought the shorter sidewall would make it harder...lol...Brett said no problem, just want to make sure they don't fly off...lol

I'd think 245s would be pushing it on a 17x7" rim.

I think there is no way in hell that would work. LS1Tech has a huge sticky thread on it. Shit, 255's are the max on my 8.5" wide wheel and I can see why, haha.

245's max out a 7" wheel. It bulges out at the sidewall pretty bad. I ran 245/50's on my Turbo Coupe with 16x7 wheels, and it was a tight squeeze. Only reason they went on so well is because it seems that Falkens run a little narrow for their size.
