I was looking at running a 275 E.T. Street Radial on my car this year but not sure if I can run them on my 12" wheels. I have seen guys do it with bead locks but not sure about with no bead locks.

Yeah I posted it on the bullet to. People go up to 13" wheel it looks like but only with double bead locks. I had read on there befor people had been doing it but it doesnt look like it is to safe without the double bead locks.

100% yes u can do it,and personally i think it looks awesome.I see it all the time on radial cars.
to each his own I think it looks silly when the rim is wider than the tire, but then again I don't like 18-20" rims on old muscle cars either.

Maybe I'm different but I go by what the manufacturer says... they have more time at this... sure maybe it wont come off the rim.... JMO

what would be the advantage of a 12" rim vs. a 10" seems to me you'd have less side wall on the 12's.
like any tire, you will get a wider contact patch

if the tread width of a tire is 10.5, as is a 275/60/15 how would a 12" help? I under stand if you were going from an 8" rim to a 10. I would seeem to me you'd lose the "wrinkle wall" effect. Are you saying buy placing the tire on a wider rim you can make the tread width 12"??? I don't see how that is possible. I run a 9" rim and 275's, my contact patch is pretty much all of the tread width.

Maybe some of you didnt read the whole thread. I HAVE 12" WHEELS. IM NOT BUYING DIFFERENT WHEELS. If I have to run a bigger tire I will. Not that big of deal. I see alot of the 275 tire guys run 12" wheels for a wider contact patch. I didnt ask how it looked. I asked if you can do it. Thanks
