I just got my tires in today. They're 275/45/18. I assumed they would fit since I know of people running bigger tires but when I took them down to a local shop they took about 4 secs to decide there was no way. Should I find another shop or are they to big. They do look pretty massive. I should mention I have Drag Bags and my fenders ARE rolled.

Will need to air your bags up fairly high. Also how wide wheels you using?

[impulse101]

most are running 275/35/18s

Did the shop say why it would not fit?

There's quite a difference between M&H and MT 18's. Why
did you choose to go with 28" Diameter (Tire Height)?

......M&H 275/45/18.....................275/50/17
Tread Width......9.8........................8.8
Section Width..11.1.......................10.1
Diameter.........28.0.......................28.0
Circumference..88.0.......................88.0
Rim Size..........10.0........................9.0

.......MT 245/40/18....265/40/18....275/40/17....26/11.50/17
Tread Width......8.45......9.60..........10.20.......... ..9.50
Section Width....9.55....10.61..........11.00............1 1.10
Diameter.........25.80.....26.50.........26.00.... .........26.50
Circumference..81.00.....83.00.........82.00...... .......83.00

I'm voting no, the 45 series is damn big, the 40 series M/T is tall this must be really big.

Gonna go try to mount em up Fri. I went with the 275/45 cuz thats all they made. It was this or 325/ sumthin. I knew there was no way to do that. I heard these should wear a little better than the MT but hook better than the Nittos so I thought they'd be perfect. If they'll fit that is.

Will need to air your bags up fairly high. Also how wide wheels you using?

Oh and the wheels are 10" wide and I think the offset is +53 (not sure).

[V3NOM GTO]

Well verdict's in. It's tight but they fit. They look weird cuz of how tall they are but man are they stickey. Gonna do a track run in about 3 weeks and will give updates.

Got any pics?

[DizzyLizard]

x2 for pics!!

Are you sure they are going to fit once the suspension is pre-loaded and all the weight transferred to the rear? How tall is the wheel(??x10) cause those just sound like monstrous tires!
However, if you can get them to fit I have heard LOTS of good things about M&H.
