TornadoJudd Legacy Donating Member 818 Member For: 20y 7m 8d Posted 13/09/06 11:38 PM Author 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.
