Youll loose contact patch. Buy a 10 or a 10.5 inch wide wheel for maximum contact with a 275. You sacrifice traction being cheap not fitting tires to properly sized wheels. It MIGHT fit but its a bad idea

Great........ well here is the story....
Bought a staggered set of wheel from AM during that awesome memorial day sale they had...8.5 up front 10 in rear. Just got around to putting tires on them. Got a call from the shop stating that one of the 10s were bent out of the box. The thing is that MMD does not make these wheels anymore and I can't get a replacement wheel. They have a couple of 8.5s left but that is it. I am just trying to figure out my options while waiting for Alex to get back with me.

Thats unfortunate. Id ask for a refund and continue to the hunt for new wheels. From everything ive heard they take good care of people at AM. Im sure they wouldn't hesitate to refund you if you asked. Best wishes!

It may be possible to have that straightened. I recommend Wheel Medic.

Yeah brother!
Look downright mean. Simple wheel, great look, perfect execution.
Thanks so much for your support and business we really appreciate it!
