275/30/24s or 255/30 /24s on 24x8.5" wide rims??

i got a 3 in lift on my vic 03, i dont want lo pros i want as much meet as i can so 275/30/24s or 255/30 /24s on 24x8.5" wide rims??

a 275/25/ 24 tire has a 68.75mm sidewall height
a 255/30 /24 tire has a 76.6 mm sidwall height
a 275/30/24s tire has a 82.5mm sidewall height

in relation to the 265/35/22 tires i got now they 92.75mm sidwall height

im thinkin the 275/30/24 but ive heard i can and cant on a 8.5" rim

i want these rims to survive

i would think the 255's would fit on better becuz its a skinnier rim and thats the # of the width...usuallyl the 275's are for like 9-10 inch wide rims cuz they a wider tread...i could be worng tho dont quote me on it

like a 255 on a 10 inch wide rim usually looks stretched at the edges and a 275 sidewall goes str8 up n down...try callin sum big rim shops like coast 2 coast for the answer or any other big rim store that knows about big rims and tires

i was askin cauz they say i can put on a 275/25/24 or a 255/30/24 ,,,,but isint that the 275/25/24 is the same width and diameter justa diff sidewall height as a 275/35/24. it dont make sense why u culd runs a 275/25 but not a 275/35, but then again ive herd yes i cans and no i cants. anybody

go wit da 255/30 since your rim ain't as wide

255

THANKS ,
ALTHOUGH MANY PEOPLE SAY TO RUN A 255,35 OR A 275,25 ON A 8.5" WIDE RIM,,, I HAVE SPENT SOME TIME GETTING TO THE ABSOLUTE BOTTEM OF THIS QUESTION THE ANSWER IS A 275/30 WILL FIT PERFECT ON A 8.5" RIMS. BEEN TO TIRE AND RIM SHOPS AND COMPARED THE Y 3, NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND SO FORTH . SEEN SOME 255 ON RIMS BIGGER THAN 8.5 AND ALL IS GOOD AND 275 ON 8"S AND 8.5"S AND ALL IS GOOD

AND THIS IS Y
1ST.
WHEN MEASURING A TIRE THE 255 OR 275 OR WHATERVER IS THE TIRES WIDTH,

2ND.
THE SECOND NUMBER A 35 A 30 OR A 25 IS IN REALATION TO THE TIRES WALL HEIGHT TO GET THIS SIMPLY TAKE FOR EXAMPLE A 275/25 SO DO 275*.25=68.75MM SIDEWALL HEIGHT TAKE A 275*.30=82.5 SIDWALL HEIGHT AND LASTLY A 255/35=76.5 SIDEWALL HEIGHT

3RD
ALL IN ALL A 275/25 IS A PERFECT FIT AS IS A 275/30 SAME THING A DIFFERNT SIDWALL HEIGHT AROUND 16MM (8MM PER SIDE).

4TH
ALSO THE RIM SHOPS SAID MANY GO WITH A 255 BECAUSE THEY HAVE IT IN STOCK , CHEEPR AND MORE COMMON THAN 275S AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE ANYWAY AS LONG AS THEY GET TIRES HAHA

5TH
275-255=20MM WIDER FIR THE 275.. SPLIT THAT IN HALF AND U GOT 10 MM THE ACTUAL DIFFERINCE IN WIDTH PER SIDE OF TIRE

AND 6TH I MET A HOMMIE WITH 285s on 8.5" rims

HOPE THIS ANSWERS OR HELPS PEOPLE UNDERSTAND TIRES, THAT WAY U KNOW WHY AND WHAT U CAN DO, RATHER THAN LISTINING TO PEOPLE WHO TELL U ONE THING BUT HAVE NO EXPLINATION WHY U CAN OR CANT DO THAT ,,WITH TIRES AND RIMS SIZES

BUT THANKS FOR EVERYBODY INPUT ,

I hope we all know all of this already. My Pops sold rims all my life and retired before I graduated high school so Im familiar with all this very well. But when its all said and done they all will work but 255's are supposed to be the safer option on that width of a wheel.
