Tyre Width For 9inch Wide Rim

[R32 Zilla]

Hi just wondering if 265 wide tyres in 35 series would be too wide for 9 inch wide rims ? I have been running 255's in 35 series but id like to get some KU36's and they dont make that size.

Is it going to cause me problems?

I use the car mainly on the street but also for hill climbs, motor khanas and drags etc.

Thanks

Tim.

if it's going to see corners id go with a 255 tops.

I have 235/45/17 KU36 on my 17x9

265 should be fine... mine are 285 and the side doesnt look too good, the wear that is. 18x9.5"

But you have a 33 - dont they have a bit more space than 32s?

Also, you really want to check the tread width. The 265 number only gives you an approximate idea of the tread width, some 265s are fatter than others and often street/track crossover tyres like the KU36 are on the wide side. Also, offset, ride height and alignment will affect what you can fit.... so its complicated.

FWIW i'm running 255 RT-615s with 350/340mm fr/rr height and 2/1.25 degrees neg camber and have no problems with clearance at the front, and just a tiny bit at the back which was addressed with guard rolling. Sorry not sure what the offset is.
