a question????

Postby hebert [OP] » September 13th 2010, 9:15pm

vanners ...
I want to buy some wheels (rims) 8" wide
and I have some 215/70/15 tires
My current wheels (rims) are 15x7" wide
there will be any problem with putting the same tires on the wheels 8" or dismantled?

perhaps not , a wider rim may stretch the tire out more but it may not be bad , call a tire center or go to some tire sites and check out what they say , I have had 15x8 and 225 and no problem thats only 10mm wider

No problem at all.

That tire will fit.
