they accidently installed my 275 tire on the 8" supra wheel, and that did not look right at all. It is just way too wide

so what about 265 40's?

i had 275/40 on Supra TT rears and it looked/fit pretty good.

Typically, if you look at the tire spec recommended rim widths, 245 is the largest tire size for an 8" rim. I wouldn't run a 255 on an 8" rim much less a 265 IMHO. Obviously you can if you want to, but I wouldn't.

For those that read this before I edited it, I meant 8" rims above.

Unless you want a severely mushroomed tire, go with a 245 or 255 (max) on an 8" wheel imo.

its going to look dumb.

why would you stagger the tires if the wheels arent staggered...?

and i hope you've already got some spacers for the front brakes, because SC wheels wont clear.

To answer your original question - yes a 275 will fit. I had a 275/30/20 on the back last year with a 15mm spacer with no issues. Lips were rolled.
Now why you would put a 275 on an 8" wheel is another issue.
The tire manufacturer's specs are 'suggested'. Every tire is different. A 275 from 3 different manufacturers can be very different dimensionally.

275 on a 10J wheel would be 'correct', wouldn't even think about putting it on 8J

You can put a 275 tire on an 8" rim SAFELY. I have done it and so has many other people without zero issues. Drag race guys do it all the time when they run drag radials. Heck I ran 275 tire on a 7" rim with no issues. The wheels on my Mustang were only 8" at the time and the back tire was a 275 and they did not mushroom or bulge out at all. An 8" rim is an 8" rim regardless of the manufacturer. If you decide to run a 275 in the rear, make sure you use a 40 series sidewall instead of a 45 then it can bulge out a little.

thanks guys for all the info. i just got the sc430 rims because i love the way they look and want to go really wide with tires. i plan on getting them painted dark gun metal beacuse my ls is silver and grey. i also plan on getting spacers for the front pd. my friend has a 2002 gs with sc430 rims and 265's on the back. he has no issues and it looks sick. i am not lowering or rolling the fenders.
