245 or 275?

I'm not too sure how a 275 would fit on an 8" wide wheel. No more options such as 255 or 265?
Edit: as far as which I'd go with, I choose for the wider tire, as it will look better, and give you a bit more traction.

where did you get the smoothie IIs from? tbyrne has the 17x8 for $210 and i think that's a killer deal. i really love those wheels and i'm thinking of getting them myself but i keep telling myself that they don't make the car faster lol.

I know what you mean; I was never big on spending money on things that won't make my car faster. I bought them from tires.com with a wheel/tire package. I got Eagle F1's and new lug nuts with locking kit with the wheels for a total of $1641 with free shipping mounting, and balancing.

There's a difference between fitting a tire, and fitting a tire properly. Every tire manufacturer lists acceptable wheel widths, and generally 275 needs at minimum, a 9" wheel. Check out tire manufacturer sites when you find a few tires you'd like to consider.

Yup according to Goodyear's site, the recommended wheel width range for the 275 F1 is 9"-11".
You might wanna stick with 245s
