nigelboyne Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 i found the 275 only just fill the wheels properly/ will go 315/35/17 next time on the standard rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Yeah I remember you saying from several other threads on the subject. Do you wear a size 19 shoe too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 i found the 275 only just fill the wheels properly/ will go 315/35/17 next time on the standard rims That'll be an experience, maybe even your last one! Can't imagine the rear end being very managable with that much rubber on that size rim. But don't let that stop ya, I hate stretched rubber.

But don't let that stop ya, I hate stretched rubber. will let you know what there like but somehow i think you have your mind made up if there terrible on the car i will be the first to say so. as said i find the 275 better on the rears then 255 but thats my view. 17/18 yrs ago i dont think toyota had the option of 275/40/17 the tire size didn exist. hope that helps you:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 315 on a 9.5 wheel is downright ridiculous. 275 is fine, but the widest I'd go too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 the max i would fit to a 9.5 would be a 285 anything more the tyre starts to mushroom and thats not good for grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 maybe it is as i said when they go on will take pics and see how they drive. or can anyone else including yourself speak from experience. Talking of experience, Toyo know a thing or two about tires and they permit rim sizes 10.5-12.5 for there 315/35/17 tires http://www.toyo.co.uk/productdetail.php?identity=products&product_id=18 Its also worth noting that the stock 9.5 rim size sits nicely on the permitted sizes for 255/40/17 which are 8.5-10.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Don't they have banter in your neck of the woods sunshine? So your arguement is this: 275 is better than 255 so it stands to reason that 315 will outperform 275. And you have the cheek to roll your eyes at ME?? Like I said carry on with the plan/hovercraft.

Luxluc Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Sorry for the high-jack. Just for entertainment, I found a pic of a Supra running 355/25-19 on the rear. Never seen this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveC Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 One more, what width is the smallest that will fit? Stick with the tyre manufacturer's recommendations. You'll find the info on the tyre manufacturer's own website. For a 9.5" rim, you're probably looking at 235 minimum and 275 maximum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
