I know people have done it, but I just want to make sure its safe. I just picked up some 275/40's for the rear, and have stock 98 Cobra wheels.
whitecobra98 said:I agree with that, as I have the stock 245/45's on there now. I don't want to smoke the Toyo's I bought, so I snagged the 275/40's for a good price, and if I have to will get some wider rims for the rear. I am planning on some mods in the near future and would rather waste the cheaper 275's while fine tuning. I'm not interested in compromising my safety or the well-being of my ride.
hwkrcng said:Know what I find really amazing? That if one brand of manufacturer will fit on an eight inch wheel but anothers won't and they can be rated the same width. Nope, that doesn't amaze me.
What amazes me is the fact that some people will say "Oh I have 275 width tires on my stock eight inch wheels so they're FAT, YO and I have great traction!"
People need to start comparing tires and see what the best is that you can afford that that manufacturer recommends for that size wheel.
Putting 'X' size tire on your wheel doesn't mean you have better foot print or traction, in some cases it might mean you have less due to the cupping effect of the tire from trying to make a tire fit that shouldn't go on that rim.
Am I the only one here that thinks that??
