Ok so your 245 which runs wide, mounted on your 8.5 does not rub in the front/rear of the wheel well. But you are saying that my 245, which runs narrow and uses a 8.0 rubs because the tire is too big for the wheel width. What is your reasing for this?
When you turn the wheel to a perfect 45 degree angle, wheel widhts will not change if the tire rubs or not.
Your wide 245 is just as "buldged" on a 8.5 as my narrow 245 on a 8.0.
According to yoko, your infalted width is 9.8 inches, according to nitto my inflated width is 9.65.
Your inflated diameter is 25.7, mine is 25.59.
So are you saying the a .5 less wide wheel, cause my tire to grow .2 inches?
I say .2 because your is 25.7 and mine is a 25.6, you don't rub, I already do so figure its a 25.8 total diameter. If you think my tire grew 5mm, then I will have to disagree.
