Does 255/40/17 fit rear stock UK-wheels?

Does 255/40/17 fit rear stock UK-wheels?

yes they will

Thanks!

One more, what width is the smallest that will fit?

at 9.5 inch 255 would be smallest id go, you should really thik about wider 275/40 17

depends how determind you tyre fitter is . i have fitted a set or 205s on a 9.5 j rim.

but i wouldnt reccomend it by any means it s awfull and if it was for a road going car i wouldnt have. go 245 minimum. i would stick with 255.

Ermm why

He doesn't need to think about wider, there's nothing wrong with the stock tyre sizes.

i found the 275 only just fill the wheels properly/ will go 315/35/17 next time on the standard rims

Yeah I remember you saying from several other threads on the subject. Do you wear a size 19 shoe too?

That'll be an experience, maybe even your last one!

Can't imagine the rear end being very managable with that much rubber on that size rim.

But don't let that stop ya, I hate stretched rubber.

will let you know what there like but somehow i think you have your mind made up if there terrible on the car i will be the first to say so. as said i find the 275 better on the rears then 255 but thats my view. 17/18 yrs ago i dont think toyota had the option of 275/40/17 the tire size didn exist. hope that helps you:rolleyes:

315 on a 9.5 wheel is downright ridiculous. 275 is fine, but the widest I'd go too.

maybe it is as i said when they go on will take pics and see how they drive. or can anyone else including yourself speak from experience.

the max i would fit to a 9.5 would be a 285 anything more the tyre starts to mushroom and thats not good for grip

Talking of experience, Toyo know a thing or two about tires and they permit rim sizes 10.5-12.5 for there 315/35/17 tires

Its also worth noting that the stock 9.5 rim size sits nicely on the permitted sizes for 255/40/17 which are 8.5-10.0

Don't they have banter in your neck of the woods sunshine?

So your arguement is this:

275 is better than 255 so it stands to reason that 315 will outperform 275.

And you have the cheek to roll your eyes at ME??

Like I said carry on with the plan/hovercraft.

Sorry for the high-jack.

Just for entertainment, I found a pic of a Supra running 355/25-19 on the rear. Never seen this.

That could be 155/25/19 for all we can see from that pic

Stick with the tyre manufacturer's recommendations. You'll find the info on the tyre manufacturer's own website.

For a 9.5" rim, you're probably looking at 235 minimum and 275 maximum.
