rim tire combo question

[diesel1114]

hi guys i have a 68 dodge coronet im looking to put a 305 or 315 17 on a 10" wide rim in the back or my car, has anyone tried this or have any input that can help me out

thanks

Personally i think that 305 and 315´s are too wide for a 10" wheel, It look´s better with a 275 or 285.

you could probably fit it, but it wouldent look or fit very well. i have 295 on my 10 inch wheel, and they buldge enough as it is. 275 def. looks/fits the best.

On a 17x10 rim a 285x40x17 will work great, On a 18x10 rim 295x35x18 is perfect.

I would recommend going with the 275 on a 10-inch wheel, look at the black 69 Camaro we did that is on the Lateral-G home page upper left hand corner. The 275 looks almost perfect on a 10-inch but some people will say it is a little streched. Hope that helps

ok great guys thanks for the info now let me ask u this, for the frot tire size its and 8" rim i use to have 245 45 on my other car but will a 255 work or am i pushing it there as well

choices choices lol

I think that you´re pushing it for the front-tires also. On a 8" wheel I´d go for 225 or 235 max. But that´s just my opinion....

I suggest 245's on a 8 and nothing wider than a 295 on a 10. I think you'll find that tire manufacturer's will not recommend anything wider on a 10" wheel.
