pics of tire sizes
 
I was wondering if anyone has any pics of 275/40/17 on stock 17x8 rims. I was thinking of doing this but want to make sure it's not going to look funny. maybe i will just stick with 255/40/17 or 265/40/17. none of these sizes should through my speedo off should they?

I run 275's on 9inch rims up front and the tire bulges out some...I think it would bulge too much on an 8inch rim. I'm sure it has been done before.

Have a friend running 275/40's on his 01 Bullitt. It has the factory bullitt wheels on it. The tires don't bulge too badly, but it does bulge a little. No pics of it though, sorry...

you lose a lot of sidewall strength with them bulged out like that. 255/40/17 is about the biggest I'd go on a 8" rim. 8.5 moves up to 265 and 9 gets up to 275.

drive through.
