For a 275/45 its recommended that you run a 9" wide wheel, an 8.5" will work, but will cause a bit more stress and heat (not to a dangerous level though).

I went up to Vegas last night and picked up the tires. This morning I had them mounted and balanced. I have to say that they do not look as bad as I thought they were going to. They definetly fill in the fender gap much better. The guys down at the shop said that they will be just fine for quite awhile. Here are some pics for reference :

The American education system is a joke. Half your population can barely read by the age of 10, yet you're suggesting that / (which is the mathematical operator for 'divide' when ÷ is not easily rendered, such as on a computer) is taught in Kindergarten?

Criticism of the American school system != hating America.


Can you understand THAT mathematical operator?

Okay you two, tone it down here.

This is not the Egonet, its the Internet, and on a car forum.
