Yes but it balloons the tire. That means the tire tread will not be evenly driven on. Causing awkward tire wear.
As long as the tire is made for 18 inch rims, it would mount like any other tire.As long as the tire is made for 18 inch rims, it would mount like any other tire.
Of course you can.
Yes you can. The only thing you are changing is the width of the tire. As long as your rims are wide enough to keep the tire from bulging out, you are fine.
Rims are wheels. Your tire goes on them.
No, the tire may be to narrow or too wide for the rim.
Yes. Manufacturers will usually say 8 inches is the lowest for a 12.50 wide tire, but 7.5 can easily be done
Rims were 14X5, and the tires were about 5.5 inches wide. I think the SS might have had a 6 inch tire, with white walls.
There are a wide number of sites that sell tire rims online. Some of the sites that I came across in my search were tirerack.com/, wheelmax.com/ and discountedwheelwarehouse.com/. You can also find them on Amazon and Ebay.
Yes, if the width of the tires are right. You can place 33" x 10" wide tires on 8" wide rims. Your tires will have a number like 33x15x10.5. This is a tire that is 33" in circumference, will fit a 15" wheel, and is 10.5" wide. Just verify whether you have 14",15" or 16" wheels before ordering. The width of the tire is the determining factor here. The most common 33 inch tire size is 33-1250R15, these will probably be too wide for an 8 inch rim.
If you want to replace the current tires on your vehicle with a 17 inch tire you will have to have the proper rims for that tire. If you currently have rims for a 17 inch tire then you would not have to replace them but if your tire rims are smaller or larger then they would have to be replaced.
If you do not have a tire your rims will be damaged and the some with what the wheel. The weight of the car is so heavy it would crush the wheel and the rims.
