235 / 245 both recommend an 8.5 rim?

245/40ZR17 91W 8.5"
235/40ZR17 90W 8.5"

What size are your wheels?

Get wider wheels bro. I stayed with my 8.5 oem rims and stepped up from 245 to 255 ao50s and was stoked the extra grip. Slightly tractor spec but does the job well.

This. When i put my 295s on, i went up about 20 places in the old WA sprint series. Placing 4th outright in the last round (my first outing with the tyres.)
