can i put a 255+ tire on an 8" rim?

[Teen'93stang5.0]

ive got those 5 star smoothies on the car now and theyre 16x8 IIRC, ive got 245s all around, i was wondering if i could squeeze some 255s or even 265s on there and not have any problems?

TIA

probably bubble out some but I have 275 40 17s on my 17x8s with little bulge ..

A friend put 275 BFG KD on his 8" wheels. I would definitely not recommend going wider on such a wheel.

You shouldn't have a problem with 255's.

275's would probably be as big as you can go...but I would check with a tire dealer first.

BTW 255's are only 10mm larger (this much bigger ---> ___ ) than 245's, so if your looking for an appearance adjustment....then you should go larger or you will not notice the difference.

so 275s will bubble, i assumed they'd do that, no biggie,

i just dont want them to pop off the wheel
