Default people who have used toyo r888s...question

I was wondering if they run small or big. I want to know if a 315 30 18 will fit my 10" wheel. Thanks

Toyo recommends at least a 10.5" wide wheel. I have a pair of them mounted to C5Z Speedlines and they fit very well. (They are the ones standing up. The other two are 275s on 17s for the front.)

Think a half inch would really matter? I know nitto says a 10.5 wheel for their 315's. But they run small and 10" works fine

Sweet looking tires. That is my next pick in a 295 to see if they run better than what I have now.

The simple answer is...they run on the wide side compared to many other brands!

If you`re currently maxed out on clearance you may have pronounced rub with the 888`s..

I have a 305/35r18 on an 11 inch wheel and it's about perfect fitment. John@CCW tells me the R888s "like a little stretch" ... FWIW, when I was running 18x11 fronts I had 295/30r18 on them...
