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.

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?
