yes many people, including myself, have been running 275s on 8" wheels for a long time with 0 problems. This guy has just always been on a mission to try and prevent people from doing it.
Ya "this guy" you are talking about is trying to prevent people from running a tire that isn't a proper fit. If you would read any of his posts about this issue you wouldn't make stupid comments like you did above. Please don't recommend tire sizes that will be a poor fit. Just because you and "many other" people run a 275 on a 8" wide wheel doesn't mean it is the right size and others should do it also.
A 245 wide tire is the proper size tire for the OP's wheel, that is if he doesn't have a 8" wide wheel.
