RE: Tire and Rim questions

Anybody seeing a problem with a 275/35/18 on a factory 18x8.5 wheel?

It will probably work, but it might feel a little squishy when you take turns. I'll bet it will hook good though.

Yeah, it's a half inch off, the specs say use a 9 inch wide rim and mine are 8.5 inches wide, can .5 make that big a difference?

On a slalom course, sure. But if corners arent your thing, go for it.
