Yeah as bextor84 asked.. how wide are the actual rims? Cuz 275 tyres are HUGE! I'm suprised you don't get any scrubbage on the guards actually - even if they have been rolled. Looks nice though mate. Are they 17's? Cuz you need to drop the car a bit more though

rims are 8" wide, their 18's. no scrubbing, standard FE2, no rolling of guards. i wont be going bigger than 275 on 8" rims.

wow i thought 275's would be wider than that! from the pic it looks more like those are say 235/45's but yeh im probably wrong haha. peace, really nice rims, never seen em like that before! all u need now is some big ass front rotors to fill the void!

yeah just sitting their they dont look too big but once their compared to a 225 they look absolutely massive. ill try take a pic with a regular size tyre next to them for comparison.

I was quite sure that 275's wouldn't fit on an 8" wide rim. Guess not. I've got 8.5" rims and they've got 245's on them and they're wide as. But then again - they're 19". Can't remember how the ratio between the tyre height and the size of the rim is worked out.

i think profile might be measured as a percentage of your tyre width something like that anyway. heres a pic to prove im not full of sh!t either Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
