your stock rims are 8inch. there should be no problem. just dont go puttin like 18s on it or anything. stick with 16s. 17s tops. otherwise it will look rediculous.

its not the fact if they will fit. its not the proper size for that rim. plus the sh^t looks stupit. haven't you ever seen someone with the wrong size tire on the wrong size rim. either they will have the rim to big for the tire or the tire to big for the rim.

rule of thumb! they have half size that fit more exact for those smart azz.

245's on a 8' rim
275's on a 9' rim
295's on a 10' rim
315's on a 11' rim
Ya, ok.[sm=bangbang.gif]

These cars look pretty stupid I bet huh? All with 8" rims on 275's



I think those cars look badass. Ummm, here's mine, same combo.







I don't see a problem. Let's see your car!!!!

Mickey Thompson Drag radials(if you want traction and have to have a 315). approved rim size is 8.5 to 11.0 rim...I personally wouldn't use anything smaller than a 10 inch rim....

Default RE: biggest tire on 9" rims

i'vework at a tire shop for a couple of years in the late 80's. i saw different combo's all day long. the problemi would see all the time ispeople wanting to go bigger on the same size rim. a 275is meant to goon a9' rim. it can go on a 8' rim, but the 8' rim doesn'tpull the tire out all the way. you tend to havethe tire plucking out far pass the rim and sitting up tall. meaning it doesn't fully stretch out across the rim. plus, i've seen it the other way 245 on a 9' rim. the tire is being overly stretch and the rim is sticken out further than the tire. did i said you couldn't do it no. this is just the correct way of doing your sh^t right. if your happy with it keep that way.
