TornadoJudd Donating Members 818 Member For: 19y 2m 19d Posted 13/09/06 11:38 PM Author Share Posted 13/09/06 11:38 PM I talked to a tyre shop the other day and he said I could fit 275s on the back with the 8" rim. Ive had 265s on them and they fitted alright but I think 275s are a bit wide I was hoping someone has fitted this width of tyre before.

Guest newl Guests Posted 13/09/06 11:57 PM Share Posted 13/09/06 11:57 PM The best answer is whatever you're legally allowed to run on the roads in your state. e.g. In W.A. no wider than 8".

You need a little guard rolling to fit. Not sure about the utes though.
