Biggest tire on stock bullits?

winterftbl · March 12th, 2009, 11:33 PM

Whats the biggest size tire that can fit on a stock bullit rim? I have heard anywhere from 275 to 315. Thanks Guys. Winter

RAGEman · March 12th, 2009, 11:36 PM

275.

275 will have some bulge, i have no idea if a 315 will fit

You're better off getting a softer compound than a tire that's too wide for the rim.

winterftbl · March 12th, 2009, 11:45 PM

^^^What do you mean? I always thought that 275's were the max but I heard that nitto 315's will fit. So thats why i was asking.

mattstang · March 12th, 2009, 11:47 PM

they will fit but it looks like poop and rolls so much your throwing you money away.

i have 275's on mine now. they bulge buy its not crazy.

winterftbl · March 12th, 2009, 11:53 PM

Do you have any pics of your tires? Thanks

I would never put 315's on a stock rim! I dont really like the buldge look either but your gonna do what you gotta do. I wouldthink anything over 275 woud be easy to break the bead.

Nitto's do run small, but I still don't think a 315 will work on the 8" wheel. Will it fit on the wheel, yes, but it will bulge like crazy. I had 275's on my stock wheels. Slight bulge, but no big deal. Get 275 and be happy.

I agree - I'm coming at this from a handling perspective, and the 255s on my 8" rims are too bulgy. I'm actually getting some 9" rims to put those tires on, and putting 245s (or narrower) back on my 8s.

275

yeah you aint gonna take to many fast corners with tires that are too wide for your wheels.

mrsinister2424 · March 13th, 2009, 01:17 AM

..... Don't cheap out and do 275's on 8" wheels. That's stupid. If you want to run bigger tires, get a bigger wheel.

moosenuk17 · March 13th, 2009, 01:23 AM

i know this has been asked over and over again but i cant remember, could i fit 315 on a nine inch wheel? thanks:
