Wide tires
Hi, Has anyone put a 255/45/r16 on an 8 inch rim before? I figure a 245/45r16 will work fine but I really want to fill in these 3" CCC fenders. For interests sake the rims are 16x8 fuchs with 10.6mm offset. My worry is that a 45 wall 255 will be too wide (10") with too small of a side wall to fit properly on a 8" rim. THe 245 is 9.6" and have read that it will work with a 45 wall on a 8" rim. Any pointers? Thanks
Mike

use the correct size tire, and then use spacers to get your fender clearance nice.
What wheels, brakes and suspention are you using?

These rims are made in china but I haven't heard anything bad about them yet. Best part is their price, for a daily driver that will most likely get some wheel scuffs I don't want to break the bank on wheels if I don't have to.
