What is the widest tire you can put on a 15in stock 2000 dakota rim? i have 255/70 on em now how much more could i go?

 

The rim is 8" wide stock, Usually people like to say no more than 2" more which is 10 or 10.5, but I know plenty of people running 12" wide tires on 8 rims. But I don't think they will even fit in the front as far as fenders are concerned.

 

My 2000 Dak has 32x11.5 tires on the stock 15" rim.

 

Im running a 31x10.5 on 15 in rim I was talking to one of the guys I know that owns a tire shop in my town he said its doable with a 12 but he wouldnt recommend it cause it will bulge since its pretty wide. Personally I wouldnt do it in the winter I haul wood and coal at times and my tires will bulge a bit once that weight is in the bed.
