On my 95 I have the stock 16x7 wheels is anybody running 315/75/16s Im getting tires anyday now&I was gonna get the 315s but Ive heard you cant run em.Has anybody?Actually I think the wheels are 16x7.5 not sure

 

Recomended rim width for that tire is 8.5" to 10" tire shops up here would not mount those tires on your stock rims.

 

Why would you order tires prior to knowing beforehand about appropriate rim size?



c'mon...i had to do it!!

 

Why would you assume I orderd tires?I said Ill be getting tires anyday now...meaning Ill be going to buy em soon as I find out if they'll fit,hince the reason Im asking.

 

B/c that is a logical assumption in the way you wrote it. So I can assume to the best of my ability. So, for the shop that you are going to purchase, what was their response to your query?

 

The kid up there said....I dont know maybe you cab look it up.Then he got someone else&he said I would think so.But that didnt suit me

 

from what I've looked into it.. 265/75/r16 is the highest that will go on those rims. Any higher like wh1te said, they will refuse to mount them, or charge extra and not give a warranty on the installation. Also you'll have to probably get spacers if you go higher, because you probably will have a rub.

 

Merc is most likely right since its based on the tire minimum specs.


Additionally, you'll find other similar responses.

Since you got that type of response from the shop....I personally would not go there.

 

I may just order a new set of wheels will a 16x8 with a 4.5 back spacing be ok?

 

just for the record i've ran 315x75x16 on the factory wheels... thye rubbed a little but worked good... had them on there for about 10 months before up grading to 18s and then 20s lol
