jackso11 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Does anyone know? I was thinking maybe a 255, or is that too much of a stretch? Anyone got wide tyres on an 8J rear wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Does anyone know? I was thinking maybe a 255, or is that too much of a stretch? Anyone got wide tyres on an 8J rear wheel? Definately too wide. My car came like this, the result was a significant split on the inside sidewall of both front tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 yep, too wide. i have a 255 on my 8.5j's and that's as wide as i'd go on those. probably a 235 on an 8j imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 According to the Cooper Tires web site: 245/50R16 7.00 - 8.50. 245/40R17 8.00 - 9.50 255/40R17 8.50 - 10.00 245/45R17 7.50 - 9.00 255/45R17 8.00 - 9.50 http://www.coopertires.com/us/en/ProductDetails.asp?ProdType=UHP&id=223&title=UHP+Tires Make of that what you will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonW Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 That's odd, the calculator on there says that 225/50/16 isn't wide enough for an 8jj rim, however inside the drivers door this is exactly the tyre size that it suggest using??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Tyres differ from make to make. You may well find a 255 that is within spec on an 8J, although most state min width of 8.5" for a 255 edit just looked at the Goodyear Eagle GS-D3 specs and for a 255/45/17 it give a min width of 8" Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
