i don't have an answer for ya other than this...


they've probably been making that tire for sometime... i'd think they'd have done some testing etc... i'd think if they recommend a wheel that's 8 or 10 wide they have a reason for doing so...

i would listen to that experience and go from there ;)




Johnny (probably) not giving the answer you wanted :(

If you run a tire that is too big for the rim you run the risk of rolling the tire off the rim in a high speed cornering manuever,VERY BAD! Go with the recommended size ,unless you don't mind a lot of body-work.It also wears the tire out early because the tire is kind of bubbled up in the center.

According to the BF Goodrich chart (http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/specs/radial-t-a/12.html) the wheel size for that tire is 7.5" - 9.5", a 7" may be a little small.
