just ordered bfg all terrains in 15x10.5-15, for my stock 15 inch edge hweels on my 04 2wd reg cab, guy said I may have a problem with them busting off the rim because theyre too wide for a 7" wide wheel. I see lots of people on here with the same set up do i have anything to worry about. need to know fast so I can cancel my order...

 

No, you'll b fine assuming you meant a 31x10.5 tire. Mine came stock like that on a 7" wide rim. It will look good too.

 

Yep...no problems...they told me that too, so i just ignored them!

 

thanks guys

 

yup your totally fine, just as bfg stated, a 7-9" rim will work with 31s, and since our rims are 7" wide your cool. My friend has a dakota with 6" wide rims, and doesn't have a problem with his 31's

 

31 is how tall the tire is, doesn't matter how wide the rim is for that. A 10.50" wide tire will fit on a 7" wide rim.

 

31x10.5x15 is what came stock on a level II ranger on 15x7 alcoa's

 

what about a 32x11.5 tire on my stock 7" edge wheel (2002)? ive seen it done, but is that pushing it too far?

 

Should be ok....Nothing more than a 11.5 on a 7" wheel.

 

ive seen a 33x12.5x15 on a 15x7, it works, just ther wear isnt that good on the tire.

 

i just got 31x10.50xr15 put on at sams club about 2weeks ago. i love them. the guys at sams though i was stupid and asked me if i was sure they would fit. so i pulled the no im not sure i just wanted to see how they looked card.

 

Go to BFG's web site, they have the recommended wheel widths under the tire specs... 11.50" and wider tires are not supposed to go on a 7" wheel by the manufacture specs. However, that said, I've seen some pretty bad mis-matches work pretty well on and off road, and I wouldn't hesitate to put 11.5" tires on a 7" wheel, 12.5" would be pushing it though.
