My tires are wider than recommended for a 9.5 wide wheel but they do fit fine. In fact they don't really bulge out as you would expect.

I looked at a few tires on TireRack.com for a recommended wheel width for the tire width I was interested in. It states that a 295 needs a 10-11" wheel. I knew it could go a little lower based on research and I felt comfortable with 9.5" and 295.

They recommend a 9" wheel for 275 but I think you'd be fine. I'd recommended a little more research before you buy though. Also, remember that we have people who stretch their tires here, i.e. 225 on a 9.5" wheel, if they can go that extreme, I'm sure a 275 on a 8.5" is just fine.

The before shot:

See what a decent set of inexpensive wheels did for my DD:

Rota Torque 18x 9.5. Car was lowered approx 1" using Eibachs.

So whacha got?

Ohhh and if you look real close (3rd pic), I painted my stock calipers black.

Looks sick!!! I have had an eye on those as well as the P45's...Anyone have a Chrome Silver Z with gunmetal or black in these styles?

they aren't "so called" replica wheels.. they ARE replica wheels.

don't try and act like there is confusion, or the possibility that they are anything but knock offs.

pics look great.
