Wheel/Tire Fitting Question
I was watching part of a TV show on TNN this weekend. They installed 255's on an 8-inch wide wheel. I have the 928-type dish wheels, in 7/8x16. Currently running 245s, will 255's in fact fit the wheel?

Robert,
If you look on the specs section of <a href="http://www.tirerack.com" target="_blank">www.tirerack.com</a> you will see that most manufacturers recommend a 8.5" to 10" rim for 255 tyres. On an 8" rim you will probably be overtyred, but I think you would have a hard time getting 255 in 16" anyway

I currently have 255/50 Toyo Proxy RA-1's on my factory PD's that are 16X8. They fit and work well, but if I had not bought the tires used I would not have put a 255 on that wheel.
