Post by Zorm »

Few things, what is the widest shortest tire you can put on a stock 16" steal rim thats either 8 or 8.75 wide

looking for pictures of anyone that has painted their stock wheels the same color as their Truck

For an 8" rim you can run a 28" tall tire in 275, for a 26" tire the most I'd put on there would be a 255....so 275/60 or 255/50 at the widest.
