How did you fit 265's on a 7" rim??!

265's is pushing it, even for a 8" rim.

pretty easy actually
I had the store put them on for me...lol

I originally wanted 295's on there, but they would stick out way to far, as it is, the 265 on the back sticks out just a little bit.

they just do fit i have another pic up close of the tire & rim, here ya go

i bought colorado custom rims and they are sweet as hell! I dont have any pics of my car with the rims on yet but i will very soon.

the rim width 7.5" in the front and 8.5" on the back with kuhmo 712's at 245/40zr17 in the front and 275/35/zr17.

I STRONGLY recommend that you take a look at colorado custom wheels. They are very sharp and they have an assortment to choose from that would suit your tastes.

The only drawback is that they usually price at around $500+ a wheel and thats pretty pricey, but i got my entire set for $750. Maybe you can find a deal as good as i did somewhere too.
