Bought some stock chrome wheels, to replace my stock alloys, off craigslist for $150 with center caps and lugs. The guy was telling me I could put a tire as big as a 285 on this rim...is that true?

I have 285's Mtr's on stock alloy 16x7 {which are the same size as your old and new wheels} and it works fine. Lots of guys run them. Im no expert but i wouldnt suggest going much if any bigger then a 285.....its already a 11ish in tire on a 7in rim, just dont go trying to corner like a sports car

 

So maybe a 275 maybe a more reasonable option seeing as how I like to corner like a sports car!

 

I got 285s on stock steel rims ... drive it pretty hard into corners, too. Have been for as long as I've owned it (coming up on 9 years now). Bigger tires = bigger footprint = better traction.

 

the winters im running on the stock wheels are 265, i believe the firestones i took off were 275.

 

im running 285's.

 

Im running a 395 she tends to sway in the corner a little [&:]

But i didnt think it mattered the hieght of the tire just the width or am i wrong.
