Technically 9" is the narrowest wheel you want to run a 275... http://www.yokohamatire.com/utrimwidth.asp

You are trying to fit 275 on 8.5" and here I am thinking that I should have gotten 9.5" (instead of 9") so the 235 look proper ...

I know someone who has stuffed 305's on 7.5" wheels for a race car.
You can do anything with dedication.

Not a problem! The only question is "will it fit in the wheel wells?"

oh it will:D

the acs are et 15, and ill probably use my 20mm spacer or get a 15mm to get it as 0 so the fit will be nice and tight

I ran 275's on Kosei 17x8.5's with no problem getting the tire on the rim. Fit like a glove :buttrock
