Any more and it just won't be safe. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80851-biggest-tires-on-a-19x8-dark-agent/#findComment-1263358 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYZ Donating Members 1,171 Member For: 15y 7m 14d Posted 05/07/12 12:27 PM Share Posted 05/07/12 12:27 PM Isn't wider rubber meant to be safer so why would your insurance punish you for "being safer"245 is the widest you can legally go on 8" wide rim.. A wider tyre say 275 on a 8" wide rim would not have full surface contact with the road... It would ballon out and also run the risk of the tyre coming off... This is why if you want bigger rubber on the rear, you also need wider rims to suit..Just get a good quality 245 tyre if you want to stick with your current rims Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80851-biggest-tires-on-a-19x8-dark-agent/#findComment-1263459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 9m 8d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 05/07/12 01:57 PM Share Posted 05/07/12 01:57 PM Agree... Although 245 isn't the widest you can fit on an 8 in rim... If you go to a smaller diameter rim you could run a 265 (ie. 15 inch) with no probs...But on a 19 inch... There's no sidewall... So it's not even worth trying... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80851-biggest-tires-on-a-19x8-dark-agent/#findComment-1263485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
