Worst case is that you might have to get the guards rolled.

winstor Member 611 Member For: 16y 1m 27d Posted 19/11/09 03:07 PM Share Posted 19/11/09 03:07 PM (edited) On standard 8" rims, 255 is prob the widest you can go, depends on the tyre and what range of rim sizes the manufacturers recommends. The largest tyres and aftermarket rims you can use would be a 315 on an 12.5" rim according to VSB14 - NCOP11 Edited 19/11/09 03:08 PM by winstor Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/63725-widest-tyres/#findComment-955608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
