This is my question..
I am looking at buying some rims from a friend -- but his wheels are 9" or 10" wide and I can't remember if the stock rims are 7" or 8" wide...
but either way -- they are both 16" wheels and I do not want to have to buy new tires for now..
would my stock sized tires fit the wider rim? or would I need to go up to a 285 or wider tire if I purchased these rims?? Thanks for your help everyone!!

I think stock is 16x7 & p265/70r16

 

your going to need to step up to a wider tire, the stock rims are only 7 inches wide, 8 if you get some of the big 20 inch wheels but all the 16's are 7 inches, and a 265 tire, IF you could get the tire to swell that wide to mount, would be about 1 1/2 inches shorter and not be very safe, a 285 on a 10 inch wheel looks great.....and is safer.......

 

ya... Brant you take a good chance at popping the bead with a 9 or 10" rim and a narrow tire...id go with at least a 285 or 295 on a 9 or 10" rim ...

im running 295 on the 7" rim and they need a wider wheel, im gunna go with 16x9 moto metals when i get the extra $$$

 

Yah, thats what I figured -- basically, gonna have to get 285's (I wanna stay near stock size) if I get the rims.. sooo, not sure what to do now

(getting Joe's rims if I can swing it - they are 16x9)

 

or you could sell them to me and not have to buy tires... you could get your chip then

 

and the downward spiral begins.............

 

apparently you don't like moto metals??

 

and this means???

 

no, they are great wheels, you just got to know CJ, i tease him about how his superduty is going to end up like his blue mid 90's F150 that started stock and ended up with like 9 inches of lift and 37's.........

 

Well, then you haven't paid attention to all he's done to his F250...

hehe -- why don't ya tell him Chris... wheels would be the least of Chris's worries... plus those are stock size and he's already bought the tires!...hehehehehe
