Tire Fitment question #12,357 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

stexag · 12-03-2012, 10:59 AM

Could someone with 275s on 9.5" rims give me an idea how much the tires bulge out past the bead? I have 18x9.5 coy 57s (5.5" BS) and based on my research here I'd like to use 275/55/18 on the rear. When I bolt the wheels up I have roughly 2 fingers clearance between the inside of the wheels and the fenders. I was just wondering if the tires bulge out much or if the sidewall is pretty straight. Book says tires are 10" wide.
