How would 18x11 rims with 275 tires look? I am looking to buy some, and have seen soooo many pics with 18x11 & 315's but how would they look with 275's out back?

i had 285's on my 18x10.5 Zo6's and that was the smallest tire they recommend to put on that rim. i would think the smallest for a 11" rim would be 285-295. even with the 285's on my 10.5's they looked kinda skinny for the rim. but i had to have some tires that day, and had to pick off the shelf

I believe your the only person to ever ask that question on here. Most people like wide tires there for they get wide rims but you either have or want a wide rim with some skinny 275s, why???

The most common size 18 is an 18x10.5. You can run 275's but I wouldn't recommend them. The C5 Z06 ran 295's on the rear, I had some replica Z06 rims on my 01 SS and ran 305/35/18 Nitto is the only tire I know in this size, you could bump up to a 315/35/18 and run BFG but they are owned buy Michelin and Michelin is a French company.

Wider tires look much better, unless you have skinnys -race wheel- up front then wide on the back, that looks killer.
17x9 rim - tire is 275/40 right or wrong? Or is this the wrong tire for the 17x9 rim?
