Vmr 710 tire size help

Dave07 · 07-26-2014, 05:10 PM

I just picked up some vmr 710s n the guy said he ran 305 in the rear . I was wondering if 265 is too small for a 11 inch rim in the rear? I realize it's not the best fit but was wondering if it would safely work? Without being stretched too much , I don't feel like dropping another grand on 2 tires

265 will be stretched. If you want to save money sell the wheels. Your OEM wheels are better quality than VMR's.

265 will be seriously stretched. Why did you buy 11" wheels if you knew you didn't want to spend the money on the proper tires?

This. I can already imagine the one time he over shoots a curb while parallel parking and demolishes the outer edge of the wheel, lol.

Don't install the new wheels. Save up and buy the correct sized tires or sell the VMR's and stick to OEM, as mentioned earlier.

U can probably get a pair of 285 for $500 or even cheaper, like hankook v12 evo.

Those would stretch like crazy. Good choice with the 295s.
