Where do you guys come up with the wheel size when both tire makers that have the 275-50-17 tiresrecommend 7.5 to 9.5. Am I missing something or is it a drag tire your talking about.

are we talking for track use only or daily driver....track it wouldnt be that bad but i think for a DD 50-100 miles a day or whatever, 275 on a 8 inch wheel is pushing the limits

I reiterate, as someone who has put quite a few miles on 275s with 8 inch rims, there will be no problem.

drag tires can use a smaller rim but for most any street tire with 275 they are saying 9" or bigger rim
