255 16" Mt Radials On 7" Rims

[zebra]

Hey guys, as the topic says.

Anyone run a 255 MT on a 7" wide rim.

Seems most guys use 8" GTR wheels

the Standard Soarer wheels are a 7" So dont want to buy a couple of new wheels if I can help it.

Alternatively, 275/40/17s on a 9" rim?

Cheers

Z32 are 8" i think?

Z32 are 7.5 which is what I run. 7in isn't ideal but will be fine.

Though I'm thinking I may have clearance issues with the rear springs with the standard wheels with that much tyre on it.

Guess i will find out

I run a 3mm spacer on the back of the Z32 wheels so they don't hit the lower spring mount. Make sure you check it.

275 go onto a 9 inch ok, well the hoosier do at least. Got 4 on my R33 GTR wheels.

Mickey Thompson's are a very big 275. I had 275 Nittos under the gray but MT in that size... forget it.

Why dodgy?

It locates just fine, mate.

Any chance of a picture of this? I have some Weds Guild 17x9 I'd like to squeeze a 275/40 onto.
