275/35-18

Has any body tried to run this size tire on the MC2 RT6 rims.
My car came with them all ready on it. I know on my old Chevy
truck I use to run 275/60-15 on the stock rim with no wear
problems. I plan on cutting the lip out instead of rolling it.

How did you make out with the tires? I would like to put more meat on my MC2 FZ6 rears. I currently have 245's but would like to put 275/35's on also. Don't know about doing it on an 8" wide rim though.

Max on those rims is a 255. Even that is too tight. You really need a 9 inch or larger wheel for a 275. The sidwall does not have enough give to set the bead on these rims. I was thinking the same thing a while back. I would like to widen my rims, but it just is not cost effective.

Not even a 265/35? Wow, that isn't what I wanted to here. Thanks though.

Sorry for the bad news. I guess it is time for a staggard set of wheels.

There is a shop about 20 min from parents house that specializes in fixing bent rims. I am going to talk to them about widening my rims to 9.5". For now I just put 245 all the way around.

let me know how that goes

The local shop that fixed wheels closed and the guy that owned it went to work for Trans Wheel in Tampa. I contacted james at Weld Craft Wheels, he said he could do both for $450.00 + freight with a one week tun around. This definately a serious thought for me.

I would also consider it so let me know how it goes if you do it.
