question about rims and tires

[jdub39]

i just bought some gram lights 17 by 7.5. does anyone know if i can fit 245's on the back? lemme know

 

[Choku_Dorian]

yes you can, but...

no. too big. 235 is pushing it.

 

[jdub39]

so you dont think its possible?

 

[Devil Man]

not on a 7.5 wide wheel... thats way to big

 

[jdub39]

well my buddy claims he fit a 245 on a 7.5 inch rim so i was just getting opinions thanks

 

[Devil Man]

you can do it... is it safe thats what were saying that tire is gonna be hanging over that wheel like something fierce

 

[jdub39]

haha true i mean how unsafe is it? if i drove on it for like a week or so would it be a big deal?

why? free tires? you'll have trouble fitting them in your fenders, and stretch is the look! if you want a major meety look and bulging sidewalls, then yeah, but it'll look goofy, you're probably compromising the sidewall's structure, so drifting on it will be whack.
