Always check the manufacturer's specs. Here's the link: http://www.nittotire.com/#index%2Etire%2Ent555r%2Esizes
You'll note the range of approved sizes is 10.5"-12". You can go smaller if you want but the tire won't perform up to spec. I run a 275/40/17 555r on my stock 8" rim. It's fine for drag racing, but I can feel it want to roll around when cornering, so I don't use it on the street any more than I have to.
