widest tire in 18x8 on a street car

[Boostage]

would it be safe to run 265 tires on a g35 18x8 wheel if the sidewall was very stiff like a Falken Azenis tire? or is it not recommended to go fatter than a 255 no matter what?

[20 til 3]

why would you run 265 on a 8 inch wide rim? If you want it for looks or whatever your reasoning is, I don't think higher then 245 would be safe.

[KA-T_240]

ya, on a 8, a 265 is to big. It can be done but would look like ass on a 18.

I am going to put 275s, on a 8, but they well be D/R or slicks on a 15 inch weld.

[chmercer]

on an 8 you want to run a 205-215
255 is for 10-11

[irax]

LOL! WRONG! WRONG WRONG!

265 is the limit of 8 so your perfectly fine.

[Rob's S14]

the size may fit, but keep in mind how the tire will wear and how the road is where you drive(potholes).

[lilredstiffy]

lot of sidewall flex in your future

205-45 fits perfect on a 9in.

Way to big for the rim. Unless you want to see the tire fly off the rims on the free way, I would suggest you either ditch your rims for something wider or ditch your tires for something slimer.

245's come stock on those G35 wheels.

OMG STRETCHED TYREZ!


that is not how a tire is supposed to fit.

and anyone else saying 265 is too big for an 8 do not know shit about tires.

[luvsr20]

i have a 17 x 10 rim but the tire is 245-45-17 is that wide enough then, should i be looking at a 255

[irax]

245/45/17 fits perfectly on a 17x10, i liked running 225/40/17s but thats just me.

Actually, 225's were for the fronts. They were 8"

The rear's on a G are 8.5" and run a 245.

[irax]

some models actually had 8s front and rear

This thread is gay.

Stretching tires is gay and is a fad that will die.

Square fit tires ftw. 255 = 9 inch rim. 275 = 10 inch rim. 235/245 = 8 inch rim

I've seen a 285 on a 8 inch lol...

My dad runs a 225/50/16 on his 6" lol. It's perfectly fine.

Stretching is not fine and needs to die!

[RPS1392]

Amen Brother

This wheel is actually for the front, 235 40 18 on 8x18

(think Ill go 245 next time, 235 sidewalls are slightly pulled)

255 is not equal to 9 inch rim. Do you even know how to convert inches into millimeter? Do you even know why people stretch tires? Mind you, not all of us run Viceroy stretch.

i have to admit, you're retarded if you think stretching tires does nothing but achieve a "look"

[the head]

Gee that is amazing because I am reading the factory spec sheet for a potenza re050 and it lists the measured rim width on a 255/40/18 to be 9" and the measured rim width on a 255/45/18 to be 8.5"

so I think the manufacturer knows more then you

Given they you know engineered and manufactured the tire and all

[irax]

this should not be a stretched/squared tire debate

the guy got his answer, and yes a 265 will fit on a 8 inch wide rim just fine

[Snoopy]

this is zilvia... streching runs most of these peoples lives.. you have to understand this...

A 265 will look decent on a 8 inch rim.

[irax]

no i know, i stretch the fuck out of my tires, 215/40/17 federals on a 9 but thats because i like to be hella flush without super wide body fenders
