It would fit but that is a huge tire for an 8" rim. 275mm is honestly the largest I would go for a drag set up. I wouldn't daily drive a set up like that 265 on an 8" rim will likely give you the same contact patch. The centers would wear out quick on a wide tire with narrow rim, DRs wear a little more even on a narrow wheel because they are run at about 20-25psi.

I was wondering what could be the best setup. I take the G once in a while to the strip but i drive it a lot more obv. I was wondering if 285/35/18 would be ok, but 275/35/18 is better from what you say. On the front i was thinking on running 245/35/18. What do you recommend?

A set of old FD RX-7 wheels worked for me for DR's. Cheap and light.
