Default Need some help

Ok, so dumb question, but i just dont know.

I was wondering if it is possible to put 255/75r17 tires on to 18 inch rims? is these possible, if so is it bad/ will there be any terrible side affects?

...you may suffer permanent damage to your ego when you walk into your tire shop and ask them the same question...lol

you cant put that tire on that rim. you will either destroy the tire or the rim trying.

I suppose the first question we all should have asked is "Are you really trying to put a 17" tire on an 18"
rim or was that a typo that should read 255/75 - 18?"
Otherwise, yep it's a "Here's your sign" moment.
