Has anyone had any luck with running a 275/45R17 on the stock 8" rim. I know the manufacturer says it should be mounted on at least a 9" rim. But this wouldn't be the first time i didn't listen to the manufacturer. Has anyone done this, if so did you have any problems with it? Were you able to air them way down.

I have 275 Mickey thompsons on my 8 inch stock rim. I run them at 10 psi and no problems

I have the M/T ET streets 275/40/17 or 26x11.5x17 on the stock 17x8 rim. go check out brenspeed thats where i got them from

ET Streets reccomend a min 8 inch rim for that size.

Ihave seen275/45/17 DR tires on an 8" rim before and the sidewall was extremely bowed in.

Personally I would worry about running these at 15psi at 105mph.

Just my opinion but I have seen it done many times without issue.

I ran my 275's at 10 psi over 120 mph, no issues here.

Yep, I run the Mickey's on stock rims at 13-15 psi with no issues other than a sore neck from dumping the clutch at 5k to launch

Thanks everyone. The only thing i was worried about was the sidewall at low pressure. From the sounds of it i'll be alright. I will probably go with the MT ETs. Can't wait to actually be able to get some traction!!
