Beside above, what tires will fit 18x8 5? 235/35/18 or 245/35/18 assuming the offset is reasonable. To stay at 25" diameter you need to go with 225/40/18"s.

What size tire fits a 17x8 rim?

215/45-17 gives you very good tire selection choices so that is a good place to start. 235 and 245mm wide tires will fit 17x8" wheels but add to the cost and weight as well as fewer tires to choose from. 205/45-17 isn't a good size for a 17x8" wheel, it's more of a stretch fit.

Are 18 inch wheels better than 17?

It comes down to more subjective measures, apparently. The smaller 17-inch tires represent the most comfortable ride thanks to the larger sidewall. The 18-inch tires create a bit more road noise, and this is further exacerbated when the car jumps up to the 19-inch wheels and tires.

Will a 285 tire fit a 9 inch rim?

The tire manufacturers state that a 285 needs to be on a 9.5. I'd be much happier seeing a 285 on a 9 rather than a 315. And NO, a 315 width Nitto IS NOT CORRECT on a 9 inch wheel.

Will a 315 tire fit on 10 Rim?

Keep in mind drag radials have softer sidewalls so they could stand up to the extra bulge but probably not the 10" wide rim. 315 tires need an 11" wide rim but I've seen some mustangs with 315's on a 10 1/2" rim and they bulge alot. I would recommend a 295 series tire to be safe and to produce the most even tire wear.

Can I put 245 tires on 225 rims?

This will work perfectly fine, because as I said in the previous post 245/70-16 is the exact same diameter as 225/75-16. The ONLY difference is that the 245 is 0.8" wider (not much wider at all). The two tire sizes are interchangable.

Can you put 255 tires on 245 rims?

No difference. Keep in mind 255 and 245 are sidewall width and having nothing to do with tread width. Depending on manufacturer a 245 could have more tread width than a 255. Tread compound has as much as anything to do with handling.
