Currently got B/stone RE05A 285's on but they are too big for my offset... so have to go smaller...

Thots on above? Toyo's don't come in 275....

keep in mind the R888's have a slightly larger then normal footprint. I have the 265's and most people say they are slightly oversized like the 275. Compared to my Conit's which were the same size they are definitely larger.
