Is it possible to get a 245 width tire on a 8" wheel?

Yes. Rim may not fit back on the car with that tire. Depends on flair or no flair and rim offset.

Where are you even finding that size? Race tire?

I used to have 245X60X15's and 215X60X15's with 15"X8" wheels all around on my car until I couldn't get a matched set of tires in both sizes anymore. I now have 16"X8" and 16"X9"'s

What about 205x55x15 on a 8x15 wheel for the front of a flared car? I can get another pair of Fuch 8's cheap and I was wondering if that combo would work for a front wheel? Thanks, mark

I have 245/45 ZR16 on my 911SC on 16X8" BBS 3 Piece Forged Wheel on the rear, they fit on the rim very nicely, no problems.

Rick,

Are you running the lips rolled on the rears and are your wheels factory Fuchs?

Thanks,
