Default 275s on a 10.5?

Could I run a 275 tire on a 10.5 inch wheel?? I want to get a set of wheels, but I don't want to just throw away my fairly new nittos.

their site says the wheel width range for the 275/40-17 555R is 9-11" so u should be good.

itll look like crap

the proper tire size is 315/35, 275 to a 315 is a large difference

Im runnin 275s on my 10.5s. They look pretty good. Not as good as the 315s, but I picked up hankooks for 94 each, when the cheapest 315s were about 250 each.

you can fit 305's on a 10.5 and they look good, im not sure 275's would look good at all.

plus whats the point of getting bigger rims just ot keep the same sizze tire?

Because he just got his nitto's.. You can run the tire, it will look stretched, but will not be a problem.

i was leaning towards saying wait till you run out that tire, then get the rims. the tires might not perform as well id theyre stretched like that.

but yeah it will work.
