I pulled my rear wheels off this weekend and they are 17x9's! For some reason I thought they were 8inchers. So, those 275's should fit nice.
I have been doing it for years as have many other people with stock bullitt 17x8 wheels. For the back they fit fine and give you more traction and a better look. Here are a few of my car on 275 nittos and 275 street tires out back. Excuse the over inflated tire in the first photo. I had just gotten them put on, and the psi was at 35psi still lol.
Not when you run a 275 on a 8" wheel that is to much psi for the tire. And the bead is not going to come off. I have many many passes, thousands of miles, and many mountain road (NC when I go in the summer) hard driving passes on 275 tires on 8" wheel.
Don't like a 275 on an 8" wheel, that is totally cool with me everyone has their own opinions. But the fact is that it does fit just fine. And I like the slight tire bulge look, but I'm a hot rodder at heart.
