I have 8j x 18" wheels allround with 225 tyres allround, I want to fit 255 tyres on the rear,will these fit on a 8j rim.

Yep they should fit no problem. dont go too wide though becuase it could rub on arch.

 

Hmmm....I'm gonna say no here - reckon the tyres would look a bit wrong - if you want 255s on a rim I'd say you need 8.5J (I have this) - this is what BMWs run as standard on the rear usually on 320cds, 330ds etc etc

 

In what way look wrong?

 

they'll just look too fat for the wheel. Mate of mine had some wide tyres on a set of 14" astra sport rims, they just looked flat all the time.

 

may look wrong , may make a good rim protector if your tyre hasn't got one
