just as title states will it work? I think honda oem is 5.5 and the tires are 8...

 

no... the 6" wide slicks will work tho. the 8" slicks you need a wider rim.

 

what would happen if mounted? would they fall off the rim?

 

they'd come off the bead very easily...that is IF they could seat the bead...basically you'd be going 100 mph at the top of the track to have your tire come off the rim.

 

i have 20x8x14 slicks on stock honda steelies and they've made passes @120+ they will be fine.

 

Acceptable practice for rim width is tread width plus or minus 1 inch. All dimensions @ 10 psi cold on measuring rim

tread width via MT's side = 8"
Honda 14" rim 5.5 at best...but even if we gave you 6" you're still 2" shy and 1" shy of acceptable.

Its your safety and your car to chance...I've seen people do dumber things and get away with it...doesn't mean that you should do it.

 

your goingin a straight line so theres really no way for the bead to come off.

 

HAHAHA! If you've ever gone 120+ in a striaght line you know your car floats on the slicks...and there is a LATERAL load on the slicks whether you want to admit it or not.

 

I did get the bead to seat properly... my mph trap is usaully 97-99 mph...on street tires and drag radials...didnt think about the width of rim/tires until I read this recently...hmmm

 

yeah but im really just not worried about it

plus im probably one of 3 million others that have mounted wider tires on thinner rims and ive yet to hear of a problem. what your saying about it comming off the bead is just a theory really because 99% of the time it wont happen

People also run 20psi on a RRFPR...doesn't mean its smart.

 

i also run 20x8x14 on honda steelies with no problems.

 

why would you want to run this slick size? and the right person to answer this is John@m&h..

i personally didnt choose. I got a good deal on these slicks, which were already mounted on the steelies. So I just run them.
