i have 90% of the tire touching on my truck. 14.25" wide tire on an 8.5" wheel, running 24 psi on the street.

12.5-7=5.5
14.25-8.5= 5.75

I am sure whatever tire he gets is not really 12.5 wide.

I have seen this done several times and perfect tread wear.

 

who is running 60? i said it would work fine.

 

excuse me?


what did I say to be an *** clown?

 

if anyone is the assclown its you buddy

 

I think that was for 04 edge

 

but if you notice, he quoted me

 

Yeah idk lol, why is he posting here anyway? Doesnt he have a Taco or something like that?

 

Haha, this is going to be fun.

 

I ran 33x12.50s on my stock 15x7s for quite a few months before I got my 15x8's, I think I ran around 30 psi, never had problems

 

my bad scottg it was for someone else im still hungover i stopped drinking about 530 this morning

and to everyone yes i do drive a toyota but im on here to find **** for my dad he has a 97 2wd

 

thanks you erich thats the info i was needing not everone elses bull ****. and beard thank you for your answer four days ago



Thanks to the people that gave me an answer instead of *****ing.

 

why dont you just give me 400 bucks for new rims you *** some people arent made of money and need to work with what they have.

 

.....ok too many bs replies here....

1. you CAN run a 12.5 wide tire on a 7" rim, u will need to run the tire at a pressure lower then normal inorder to ensure proper tire wear.

2. most tire manufacturers RECCOMEND the rims to be 3-4" narrower then the rated width of said tires for proper wear at reccomended pressure.

3. running a 12.5 wide tire on anything bigger then a 8" rim will lead to the tire measuring smaller as the sidewalls get stretched out, AND more likely to pop/collect mud and debris in the bead due to the sidewall being stretched out.


and....as forest gump said, thats all i have to say...about that...

 

This is a good idea. I did this when I bought rubber for my 20's. The recommended tire size for the 20" Boss 304 (9" wide?) is 275/45R20. So, thats what I bought. The tires look great, but I can definitely run a smaller tire if I want to....I might upgrade to a 235/30R20 pretty soon. Riding on rubberbands!

 

Why don't you wait until you can afford the rims? No need to half *** something.

 

To the basis of the origional question that was asked:

You will be able to run on a 15x7 just fine until you get your other wheels ordered up.. in essence to what size of rim you get. a 15x10 will push the wheels out roughly 2 inches further then the same wheel but 15x8.. Depending on laws in yoru area, you MAY have to run fender flares if you don't have them already in this situation. Currently, with my own truck in Washington, I run a 15x8 33x12.5, works flawlessly at 32 PSI, gives about an inch sticking out past the fender flares.. but if I was to run a 15x10 I would have to switch out fender flares for osmethign wider due to the laws of the state..

Guaranteed though, not many follow the laws, but I like to play it safe, and 15x8's work just fine for me. And yes, they DO work off road just fine like that, I have never had to air down, but I would rather put a 15x8 on a 12.5 aired down, then a 15x10 on a 12.5 aired down..

 

thank you mike for answering my question and telling me everything i need to know i don't need everyones bull **** about this and how i should just wait to do im not waiting it im doing it my way. don't try and change my mind if someone wants me to do it there way send me the money to do it.



Trent i need tires and im not going and spending a couple hundred bucks on tires i don't want i want 33s so thats what im getting i already have my body lift in my room just waiting to put it on so once i get the rest of the money for my tires im getting them

 

i've seen 37x14.50s on a 15x8" wheel.. yes it can be done

 

thank you matt
