Hi, i am curently running 245's in the rear on my stock 1986 16" iroc wheels, i was thinking of getting 275's for the look/trackion but i wanted to see some pics first. To see if its over kill or not, if you geuss could post them or post a pic of someones elses car that you know they are 275.
Thanks Jazz

 

It has been over 8 years since I have owned anything with 16" wheels, but I don't remember there being a 275 wide 16" tire on the market? I now people used to run 275's in 15", and absolutely run them in 17".

 

In my urly 3rd gen experiances, i had bought 4th gen 16" wheels and a friend told me they were the same bolt partern and would fit (witch they dont) and i had put michline 275's in the rear. and i am pritty sure i can still get them at my local tire shop, il go ask him later on today, but i remember him saying they were more in 16's then in 15's.

 

The problem is the tires width and the wheel width required to run something the width of a 275. The 8 inch rims can only really handle up to 255 reliably. You need a wider wheel to get to 275... SAFELY

 

Im starting to think it was 255 -_-. i will go ask my local garage and see what he tells me.

 

You are right Chris89GTA is was 255.
