Anybody running 17" Cobra Bullit rims on a Duster

Quick question for ya guys....Can i mount a 275/40/17 on a 17x8 inch wheel? have any of yall done it?

If ya look at wheels for less, or tire rack, or summit etc. they say the minimum recommended rim width for this particular size should be 9 inches. would it be okay for an 8 inch wide wheel?

It might make some difference on a tire-by-tire basis... some run a little wider than others size for size, but I think you can easily run a 275/40 on an 8" wheel. I probably have pix of mine somewhere in this thread, but let me see if I can find the link again... OK, here's probably a useful pic. Top half is a 245/45 Bridgestone Potenza and bottom half is a 275/40 Goodyear Eagle F1. The GY runs a little narrow for the size. I think it fits the wheel just fine.


Hope that helps!
