Tire question

What is the widest tire you can put on an 8.5 inch rim?

RE: Tire question

275's will fit no problem....width will interfere with inner fenderwell once it exceeds what the backspacing allows

RE: Tire question

So then what about the quad shocks? I've heard of people flipping them. Would getting new rear control arms solve spacing issue? Then how wide can you go?
