Will 265/40/17 fit on a 9" rim if so ( i think they might ) on rear of car

 

Whats the best size on front on 8" rim

 

i have searched threads a bit unclear

 

cheers martin :)

I have these on the back, and 235/45-17 on the front 8" rims.

265 will fit on a 9" rim but are recomended for 9.5"

also they are a bit tall.

Std Z UK rear of 245/46-16 is 623mm OD

a 255/40 -17 is 633mm OD

a 275/40-17 is 649mm OD

So the 265 will be approx 640MM

thats nearly 20mm taller than standard.

Not ideal IMO

255/40

 

Exactly what I have - they are a decent combination, fill the arches nicely and they tyres are a pretty common size so even the best brands are not too expensive!

Agreed!

235/45 on 8" front.

255/40 on 9" rear.

as Richard says... common sizes so plenty of tyre choice at all price /quality levels . Will look good and handle well.

Thanks all for your replys & advice
