Default Even if you could, why bother? Do yourself a favor and get some new tires.

The p6000s SUCK. I almost crapped myself when i switched to S03s, they are REALLY that much better. More grip, better in the wet, and sooooooooooooooooo much quieter.

Default Yes, but do yourself a favor and look at a 225 stretched onto a 8.5" wheel.

You can see that an 8.5" rim needs a little more rubber. Besides that, if I had an excuse to remove a P6000 from a rim, I would use that as an excuse to toss it. I would not pay good money to mount a P6000 on another rim. But that's not the question you came here to ask....
