exactly what the title says. I have two, 275/40/18 tires with about 60% tred life left on them. They are Falken / FK452 tires. I need 245’s or 255/40/18’s. Reason is, I bought 275’s not thinking my front rims are 8.5" wide and 275’s are really pushing it…255’s are a comfortable fit.

275s arent too bad on 8.5s, Ive seen 285s squeezed on them. If they look bad thou, I can see why…

I got 285’s for the rear…
If the 275’s go on, and dont push out the sidewalls too bad I will keep them…but these falkens look pretty damn wide compared to other 275’s I have seen. They are almost as wide as my 285’s.

How about 285’s then??
I have 285’s I could trade. I could use my 275’s for the rear instead and throw your 255’s on the front.

I had 255 Falkens before and they were actually 1/4" or more wider than my 255 Proxies I have now.

yah…their pretty damn wide for 275’s…wish I knew that. My goodyear eagle F1 DS-d3’s are the widest 275’s they make on the market and the falkens are pretty damn close to them.

Tires are mounted and it doesnt seem like theirs a problem and they will be fine.
