capitalking Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 maybe a dumb question... how well does a 245/75 16 fit on a 16x10 wheel? i'm not going for big tires (obviously) but i want to make sure it's not a crazy fit. i got a really good deal on some wheels, then found another awesome deal on some tires. so....

Motion Offroad Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'd run an 8" wide rim for that size tire if I had a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemsee Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 IMO, that is too wide of a rim for that tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 That wheel is way to wide for that tire as the tire is only 9.64" wide. The tire should always be at least 2" wider than the wheel. Definitely would not go any wider than 8", but that tire is intended to be on a 7" wheel. Not only would it look very goofy, but it is not really safe either as there would be too much chance of the tire coming off the bead with only a slight loss of air pressure.

capitalking Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 let me ask though, what would be the optimal width? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 For that tire? 7" as Brent mentioned earlier. But anything from 6.5 to 7.5 is acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitalking Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 no, for the 16x10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
