Message	A 285 squeezed onto a 7.5" wheel (autoxers do this) would not have the same contact patch as a 285 on the proper 9.5-10" wheel. SS Originally Posted by solidfish on my350z.com: "Hey Scott.

Will the tire "patch" be as wide?? (n/m) - Zxpress 18:58:18 03/18/10 That's really a function of the tire...but should be wider. (n/m) - lazer(NV) 19:00:36 03/18/10 Ok, I'm getting it. The rim doesn't dictate tire contact. (n/m) - Zxpress 19:10:57 03/18/10 Two different 255 tires may have different contact patches (n/m) - lazer(NV) 19:39:14 03/18/10 would still recommend looking harder for something wider (n/m) - jzx 19:41:44 03/18/10 That's not entirely correct. - Scotts94z32 10:07:02 03/19/10 Take a look at the ADR M Sports in black....

But one looks awesome and the other, - Scotts94z32 10:10:53 03/19/10 Yes, and thus the ~$3K price difference =) (n/m) - The Hawk 11:11:38 03/19/10 Do they make a 9, 9.5, 10, or 10.5" wheel?
