That tire is going to be pinched in at bead and very rounded on tread. Will cause fast wear probably. You probably need a wheel at least 8 inches min width.

I'm with DKB on this one. You can look through my build thread. I have 31/10.50/15 on a 7 inch rim.

I think the general rule is no more than 1.5 inch over each side. I think 8 would be a better choice. If you were off road or around town you "might" be ok. There are 4wd nuts that run 10.5 on a 5.5 wheel. If you want the big tires, get the correct wheel width when you buy those after market wheels. If you even think of going bigger like a 12.5 you better buy the 10 inch wide wheels.

I was thinking that size may also be OK but the minimum width for sure.

Thanks for the help.
What is the tallest tire that will fit on my stock wheels? This is a not very often driven truck.

I'm running 275x70 BF Goodrich T/A on 17" x 8" steel wheels, with stock springs. I'm not sure the diameter of my tires, but don't think I would want to try anything larger without a lift. They are pretty close to the front edge of the front fenders. You might look through the belowJim100 wrote:Thanks for the help.

"Wheels/Rims Pic" thread. Not too many W's, but still worth a look:

Wow that looks good! Did you have those steel wheels built?

I did have the wheels built. Could've got nice alloys for less, but I do think white steel wheels "fit" the truck best.

That is a beautiful truck and the wheels are perfect for it. Nice job!
