tire size
#11
The wheel is 8.5 I guess there is about an 1.5" difference between the 285/50 and the 275/45, I didnt realize that there would be that much difference as far as fitment but after seeing the difference in an inch difference on the drop I am almost affraid to even try the 275/45. I am going for a slightly raked look, would a 285/50 fit the rear and I could go with a 275/45 or a 265/50 for the front? Any thoughts???
