I didnt even think about my rims being 9 inches wide until the tire shop had them aired up. They look like ass! Now for whatever reason they don't ride like ass. They are a huge improvement from the old 255s that came off of them. Here's the issue. I do plan on buying a different set of tires or maybe 8 inch rims, but for now I'm stuck with them. They were a great deal at 80 bucks a peice and unfortunately that was one of the selling point of these tires. I'm probably a month out from switching tires or rims. In the meantime: am I ok to run these without blowing one off a rim and ending up in the ditch or something worse? Curbs are a mortal enemy for me until I get things straightened out, but I understand that risk. Thanks in advance for anything you might have to say. Thanks. Also I heard rumors that once upon a time there were such a thing as 8inch 03 cobra style rims. I have 03-04 cobra rims and would like to keep the theme alive but I can trade them off if it has to happen</p></blockquote><p></p>
