Tires for a 8.5 inch Wide Wheel
Doing some math. One inch is 25.4mm so a 8.5 inch wheel is 215.9mm wide. on my stock 18X8 wheel the width of the tire is 235mm so 9.25 inches, meaning the overlap of the tire from the wheel 1X1/8 inch overlap. A 265 (10.43inches) tire would overlap a 8.5 wheel by nearly two inches. Is that two wide a tire to fit on an 8.5inch wide wheel?
