True. I wouldn't go bigger than a 275 on an 8".

most people have enough reasoning to size their tires properly

ask how many people on this forum that are running 295's on a 15" wheel what size sidewall it has and you will most likely get the same answer from everyone

RE: Wheel Question

275's huh? Thats fine with me. Got a set of 235's on there right now and just about anything beats those pieces of ****. Ugh....
I had bought some Mickey Thompson E/T's about 4 months ago, but driving 30 miles to my to work three times a week in the stang wore them out....lol. Oh well....im just happy i got my stang running right now so i can drive it.
