ANYONE!?!??! PLEASEEEE HEEEEEEELP!!!!
LOL, THANKS!!

 

If your still using the stock rims 275s are probably too wide for 8inch rims. I think 255s are as wide as is recommended.

 

Those tires will also be shorter than your stock ones. You should either stick with the stock size 235/55/17 or if you want to go wider, 255/50/17. Those are pretty much your only options for the stock rims.

 

I agree that 275's are too wide for an 8" wheel. When I had my Nitto 450 275/50-17s installed, the bozos at the tire store mounted them on the stock 17x8 wheels, instead of my new 17x9 Bullitts. The bead was pulled way in, and looked stupid (and unsafe!).

 

Que honda, Alex?
