They are 15x7.
Im wondering what is the biggest tire i can run.

I would like 33s. with my 4inch Rough Country lift.
If I cant do 33s. I would go 31s.

But what is the widest tire i can fit? 12.5? 11.5?

You can get any size tire to fit any size wheel, within reason, hell I have a 13.5 wide tire mounted on a 6.5" wide wheel as a spare, and 15.50s mounted on 10" wide wheel with no issues.

The only issue you will run into is the center tread will wear slightly faster than the outside tread, with that said, I ran a 285/75R16 (Like many do) on my stock 16x6.5" wheels. After nearly 50k miles on the BFG MTs the center tread was a little more worn than the outer, roughly 1/8" deep in the center, and 1/4" deep on the outer. But who can complain about getting 50k out of mud tires. Others have worse results, but the key is watching tire pressures. Lower pressures will even out the tread, but will hurt fuel economy, and can actually wear the entire tire faster due to heat. Higher pressure will "crown" the tread, wear the center faster, and get better fuel economy. It's all about finding a happy medium.

33x12.5 will fit onto a x7, but I think you would be happier with a 32x11.5 with your setup, both looks and performance wise.

do you really need 5 threads with the same questions? do you not read any of these comments? please see your other thread where i posted info.

half of these idiots don't even know what they are talking about.



his truck is fucking 2wd people. 4" lift on 2wd OBS is damn near not even stock heights of a 4wd OBS. also that old ass v6 is going to have hell with those 33's.


don't be one of "those" guys trying to stuff the biggest tire under his POS only vehicle. your not going to get more pussy with 33's over 31's.

31x10.50 is the obvious choice. clearly your not going to impress too many people with that truck. no big deal. but stuffing tires and putting way more money than needed, looks like your trying way too hard.

the 31's will look clean, fit, save you money, and will just be better all around. your better off spending that extra money on beer and women. or of course other mods.

going with 31x10.5. Most people saying that, and saying ill lose to much power with 32x11.5.

Just hope its not to small.
