can some one help me with tyres.please
I have FE 20" wheels and they are getting very low now i have been let down by a tire place but i have phoned up a place about 70 miles away and the only size they have is 275-35-20
Will they fit my wheel i know 265-35-20 would fit but what about the extra bit ? Stanfard tyres were 255-35-20 Any help would be great Im not sure if my wheels are 8.5J or 9J i think they are 9J Many thanks

They should fit without any problems but the speedo will read 2% faster than actual speed. They will also give a slightly softer feel to the ride being a taller sidewall. See attachment

Should be able to check the wheel width just by taking the centre cap off
Camspec will do next day delivery if you've got somewhere local that will fit - Saved me £150 for 4 tyres compared to local places

Right on that screen shot where it said rim size ?...... its got 8.5---10.5 under 275-35-20 dose that mean that a 275 tyre will fit wheels from a 8.5 to a 10.5  so dose that mean my 8.5 FE wheels will fit a 275 35 20 ? im not sure this is confusing me

It's on the limit, some tyre sites I use say it's too wide.

you can put 275's on the 9 inch D3 FE rims as I have them on mine but not on the 8.5 rims I think Guy. You're changing the diameter to 15mm bigger but the main thing is that you need the 9" rims to consider using 275's so check that
