is there a rule of thumb to go by when ordering tire width? For instance, since i have 8.5" how would you figure 265 fitting? hope that makes sense.

its just from experience kyle...

8 1/2= 225-265
9=245-275
10=255-285/295
10 1/2 265-315

all depends on stretch and bulge what I listed though is like normal ranges without getting extreme

Wheel Width Max Tire Width
8 255
8.5 265
9 275
9.5 285
10 295
10.5 305
11 315


Just my .02. If they are track tires you can generally +10mm over that. The stiffer sidewalls make them a bit harder to mount, but keep the sidewall structure integrity better than street tires. Drag oriented tires have soft sidewalls and you can oversize them as well, but be cautious around any corner because the sidewall will.......well.........collapse. Generally you will run a taller sidewall with slicks/drag radials which helps in mounting on smaller width wheels. For instance.........I ran a 275/50 on an 8" wide wheel.

damn man, I would ask for some sort of refund/compensation. If they don't, tell them you want to cancel the order and buy from one of their competitors. they always like to hear that lol

Talking all big just makes you sound like a ******** that's a bunch of talk, just call and say, please cancel my order. Thank you.

They know the internet is out there and they know that people run their moufs all the time. No reason to rub it in.

I was thinking one good bicep flex from Clay would get him a G5 ride to and from with necessary parts.
