Is it possible to fit a 265s on a 9" rim?

Would there be any benifit over the 255s?

What 17" 265 would match up to a 225/45?

Thx in advance!

 

The 265 willo fit fine on the wheel. It may not fit fine on the car though. You would want a rather high offset to make it work.

thanx Jim. I have the CE28s and the offset is a +63 in the rear, just wanted to know if I could squeeze the 265 on there.

one more thing Jim, will I see a real benefit over the 255s... or will it just look aesthetically bigger.

 

One good thing about the 265/30 X18 is that it is the closest to stock diamater I have seen on the databases.

They also recommend 9" as the smallest rim.

Go to Tire Rack and get tire specs to compare diameters and see rims recommended

 

Except he's looking for 17 inchers??

 

I don't think it will have an advantage over the 255/40R17 on your car. You end up with about .5" taller tire than the front.

Leo,

I am running 265/40/17 Michelin Pilot Sports (Rear ) on my Hyper Black CE28N's...I like the wider contact patch and it looks more agressive and handles great

 

Thx John

 

What are your offsets?

 

since he's running the CE28 in 17inch, my guess is +50 front and +63 rear.
