[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 14602187, member: 155561"] A 255 sits flush on an 8.5" rim, my 275s sit flush on a 9.5" rim. The rim being too small for the tire will pull the sidewall up, effectively lowering your contact patch. The tire will "fit" on the rim, but you're going to be paying for a lot more contact patch than you're actually using... you're basically just wasting money trying to put that big of a tire on there.
