I am not an authority but I have seen posts where folks have used this size on stock wheels when the tire mfr did not offer the 265ZR40-17. Dimensionally it is barely larger diameter than the SCs. I would buy this larger tire if necessary to get the mfr and product that I want in the next set of tires I buy.

I ran 265s on my zo6 18" and dont think 275 would have been a problem at all, I have a 10" wide frt 18" now and have 275s because of a good deal on pilots but a 285 would be perfect on my 10", I'm running 335s on my 11.5" rears and they don't buldge even though I would have preferred a 12" rim with these they would stick out noticeably with the extra 1/2" and I didn't want to tub.

I've seen this on a few cars and I think it looks weird. JMHO

I got some great gains from doing mine, and the lifetime deal is great. I believe J.P. said he was extending this special. :cheers:
