Castle Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Anyone fitted 275 wide tyres to 9" wide wheels? do they look really weird or ok?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 i've seen 285's on a stock 17 (9 1/2" wide) rear and it looked a little large/tractor like! why not go with the 255's? obviously your choice, but i've never had wider rubber than this on any of my sup's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 i had 275's on my 9" wheels on my 300zx and they looked and handled fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I have 275's on the back of my car, standard 9.5" 17's, they look OK, they should go OK on 9's Click here for a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 I wouldn't mind them looking a bit large (american 50's draggers) cause my wheels have a polished lip that goes in about 4" or so but i don't want it to look stupid:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Mine came with 275s on a 9'' rim. They looked fine ..... so much so, I was suprised the rim wasn't 10'' when I took a wheel off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 i have 285`s on stock rear rims and love the fat look. gone off big wheels. prefer 17`s. its quite hard finding wide 17" rubber as it starts getting expensive. how big a tyre could you fit on a 17x11 rim 305????

Supragaz Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I think my rears are 9.5 wide but I run 275's and think they look the business. You should be able to get away with them on 9's. The best thing about it is it helps to protect your wheels from being easily curbed because the rubber should stick out just a bit further than the lip of your rims. The widder the better IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
