[Mac-man]

hey guys i am asking a dumb questioni know..but i want to know if a 315 can be put on an eight inch rim. i got some chrom bullitts in trade for my charcoal ones..but they are only 17X8" and have no tires i am keeping my tires but the ones i have are 245/45 on front and 315/35 on back. is it possible to get this on an eight inch rims until i get the 10.5's in or do i absolutely have to buy new tires??

They wouldn't fit on my 10" wide rims, so 8"...come on...

315 is a 12.3 inch wide tire... so no it wont fit on an 8 inch rim. I believe there are a few people running 315s on 10.5 inch rims...but you should really have 11 inch rims to run 315s.

how wide are 305s?

12.01". The width is listed in millimeters.

The biggest youre gonna fit on a 8" wheel would be a 275 tire. I would go with a 275 nitto as they run a bit smaller, which means it would fit better.

i'm running a 17x8 wheel and currently have a 315/35/17 all you'll need is some fender rolling!!

Sidewall flex doesn't make it unstable? I had 275's on 9 inch wheels and you could feel the roll in turns.
