will a 275/40/17 work on a 10.5" rim ? Did not know if it would be to small or not says 9" recommended for this size tire. any thoughts ?

thanks John

I wouldnt put a 275 on a 10.5, You could have an awesome tire on there like a 305 or somethin like that,

275 on a 10.5 will stretch the tire to fit. It will look the opposite of a tire that bulges on the contact path. correct?

you gonna have to strectched look wit a tire that size, most guys run 315, 305 on the smaller side.

called a couple local tire shops and a 275 according to both shops is fine up to a 10" rim. oh well might try them or just sell them have to think about it. thanks guys

I would sell them and go up a tire size.. 275's isn't very safe on a 10.5 wheel.

Even a 285 would be ok but got 315 it looks sick nasty

They will fit, but they will look bad on a mustang. Your gonna have the stretched euro look. Plus ur loosin all that grip from runnin such a skinny tire.

thanks guys I called three well known tire shops and they all said a 275/40 is good up to an 11"rim. I am going to mount one and see what it looks like in comparison to it it mounted on a 9" wheel. Thanks again guys for the input.
