kyleag89 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Ok so I am buying new rims for my truck because I want the wheels to stick out further than stock. IMHO the stock wheels sticking in soo far looks terrible. I used to have a set of AR outlaws on my mj and they looked much better. I am looking at wheels that are 15" and 15x7. I want to use my tires I have now that are 235/75-r15 on them. In the near future I will be buying a set of BFG T/As that are 31x10.5 R15. Will these fit on 15x7 rims or should I go with 15x8s instead?
Dirteatr717 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 They'll fit fine on the 15x7s... They'll be a little taller and the 15x8 should give you a flatter tread, whichever you prefer they'll both work
kyleag89 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Posted January 9, 2011 Ok but if I get 15x8s will stock tires fit on them until I buy the 31s?
Pete M Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 You do realize that the rear will always be more tucked in than the front, yes? How about some spacers for only the rear to balance it out?
Dirteatr717 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Yes I have 235/75/15s on my 15x8 cragar soft 8s with 4" of backspacing
mvusse Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 235s are supposed to be on a 6" to 7" wide rim. They will fit on an 8" wide rim, but don't be surprised if you end up with one or more tires leaking on the bead and/or the tires wearing faster on the edges than in the middle. For both 235/75 metric tires and 31x10.50 I would go with a 7" wide rim.
