Default These are bad ***!
I love these but they're only in 8.0" width plus get some custom center caps with a Firebird Phoenix on them, that'd be pimp.

If you ran a 245 instead of a 275, you'd only be losing about an inch. It's really not that big of a difference.

are you joking? there is a HUGE difference in the way a 245 and a 275 looks. one inch is a big damn difference when you are talking tires.

wonder what the offset it like. I'd almost look into buying them and having the rears widened to 10".

that wouldn't work then to widen them. It would sit the wheel way outside of the rear fender. shitty.
