thats like a 7 inch wheel, you probably could but a 245 would put as much tread on the ground as a 275 would on a 7in wheel

275's are too wide for 10hole rims, 245's about as wide as I would go.

need at least a 9" rim for 275's

check out the cobra R 4 lug 17X9's, 50resto has em for like $99 each.

You can run 275's on a 8 inch wheel no problem. Tims88GT has them and they fit no problem and don't bubble out crazy or anything. Putting them on a 7 inch wheel is really going to cause it to bubble out.

summit racing claims a 255 can fit on a 7 inch rim. is anyone running a wider tire on the 10 holes? if they will bubble out is this going to make them unsafe?

They will be TOO WIDE for that narrow of a rim and balloon out the sidewalls and wear the center of the tires before the outsides. Stick w/ a tire the size for the rim.

Sorry to bust your bubble

http://www.procarcare.com/includes/c...dtirewear.html

Here

Excessive wear at the center of the tread indicates that the air pressure in the tire is consistently too high. The tire is riding on the center of the tread and wearing it prematurely. Many times, the "eyeball" method of inflation (pumping the tires up until there is no bulge at the bottom) is at fault; tire inflation pressure should always be checked with a reliable tire gauge. Occasionally, this wear pattern can result from outrageously wide tires on narrow rims. The cure for this is to replace either the tires or the wheels.
