Can you take tires off 8 inch wheels and put them on 9 or 10 inch wheels?

I am selling my tires to my friend and they are on 8 inch wheels right now, but his wheels are 9 or 10 inches wide. Will they fit on his?Can you take tires off 8 inch wheels and put them on 9 or 10 inch wheels?
Maybe - it depends on the specifics which are very short in your question. You mention your wheel width, and a possible range for his wheel width, but no mention of the tire sizes.



For example:



a 245-15/16 tire that is mounted on an 8x16" rim, would have no problem sitting on a 9x16" rim. It might even fit on a 10" rim, but that would depend on the specific tire, and it probably wouldn't be a good fit. Obviously, if you were planning to try and move the tire from an 8x16" to a 9x17", it won't work.



But a 225-15/16 tire on that same 8x16" rim may be problematic if you were to try and move it to the 9x16" rim, and wouldn't come close to fitting on a 10x16" rim (probably wouldn't fit on the 9", but again, there probably is a specific tire out there in that size that runs larger than others and may just fit).



I've seen 275s squeezed onto 8" rims too... and this would work very well on a 9" or 10" rim. But I've also seen a 215 on one once, which was just about as close to being too small on an 8" and would never come close to working on something larger.



Check the tire specs from the manufacturer and they will give the range of wheel on which the tires can be mounted. That will give you a definitive answer about your specific tires.Can you take tires off 8 inch wheels and put them on 9 or 10 inch wheels?
We need to know the specific size of the tires you or he plans to put on *his diameter wheels.



Inside tire diameter must always match the wheel diameter they're going on.Can you take tires off 8 inch wheels and put them on 9 or 10 inch wheels?
