[QUOTE="badass98svt, post: 1517359, member: 7977"] 17x8? I'd say a 255. A 265 would have too much bulge, and just not look right at all (unless Nitto, they tend to run more narrow than others) 265/275 is the perfect width for a 9" wheel. Yes you can fit wider of course, but it won't look right. I used to run 295/35s on my rear 18x9 Saleens many years ago. Lots of sidewall bulge. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IM000031.JPG"]24154[/ATTACH] Anything bigger than a 255 on an 8" wheel would look similar, and be potentially dangerous as well. So to sum it up, you can put a 265 or 275 on an 8" wheel, but in no way would I recommend it. 255 would be my "final answer". [/QUOTE]
