ITS AN EVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets not destroy what this car was build for. PERFORMANCE!!!. This is not a Honda or a Mini Cooper. No wonder the V8 Muscle guys laugh at us. If you want to stretch your tire like the white car picture above please sell the Evo and buy yourself another car. I never understood people that go out spend thousands of dollars on a nice set of rims and then destroy them by being cheap for not buying the right set of tires. If you can't afford the tires you shouldn't buy wheels. Rant over.

8.5" - 245
9.0" - 255
9.5" - 265
10.0" - 275
10.5" - 285

Yes, the stock tire can fit on any of those wheel sizes, but it will look silly on the 10+.

If you wern't looking to run wide tires then you bought the wrong rims.

That is NOT safe. Period. That tire is dangerously close to de-beading.

OP: Tirerack's wheel width range for the stock tires is 8.0"-9.5". So that is an inch more than the upper bound of what Tirerack considers to be safe. Obviously that doesn't stop a lot of people with 240SXs and VWs so do what you want.

You guys need to chill the hell out, I already said that I was going to get a set of tires also. Why some people only read one or two post then reply is beyond me. And I did not post that pic of the white car with a insane stretch.

Anyway I bought my rpfl's and 275 S Drives yesterday and they are very meaty looking. I love them, it completely changes the look of the car. I will post pics when ever the rain stops.

Mods please delete, since this topic is over.
