Can I run 255 on 8.5" wide rims?

I know they will fit, but would it be ok in terms of handling (for spirited driving)...


pics would be great too.. I have 17x8.5 +30 wheels

 

I am wondering the same? I have some 18x8.5 ce28n's and Id also like to run a 255 if possible without any issues.

I've got 255/40/17 Falken Ziex on my 17x8.5 +30 RPF1's I've never had any problems with rubbing and they handle great considering they're all-season tires. Many people put 255's on the stock wheels as well so I wouldn't be concerned.

 

Should fit an 8.5-10" wheel fine. Anything narrower it will be a bit pinched.

 

cool... as long as there isnt excess bulging..

anyone with pics? i am aware it might need to be lipped?

 

You'll be fine. A lot of people use 255 on 8.5 including myself.

 

255/40 or 255/35 on OEM wheels?

 

255/40. If you want a side profile pic let me know.

 

I run 255 nt01s on my stock wheels at the track. yes. it works fine.

 

that would be much appreciated

JJsevol, are you dropped or stock suspension??

 

it really depends on the ride height if you are dropped to low the 55's will rub the fender well, my 245's rubbed and i had to raise the car on all 4 corners

 

yeah im assuming they will ride..

any side profile pics?

 

JJsevol, thanks for the pics man! its a big help for sure!

 

No problem man

 

255/35 and 245/40 have the same contact patch.

only gain is steering response with the 35 profile.
