Tire Size ?

Is anyone running 275/35 18 tires on an 18x8.5 rim?If you are do they still look ok and have you had any problems.The reason I ask is the wheels I'm getting only go up to 8.5 inch width.

I would NOT run a 275 tire on an 8.5 inch rim, it might fit, but it will not be safe at all, you'll mess up your rims if you corner too fast.

I agree with HellSpawn T/A, try a 255 or maybe a 265 max.

I looked at the 255s and 265s so I guess i will go with one of them.As for a 225 that is to narrow for me and I don't think it would look good on my car when the gfx are put on.Would't look aggressive enough.Thank for the replies guys.
