Will 315's fit?

[Petrini]

I know its not ideal, but would I be able to fit 315/75/16 Goodyear Duratracs on my factory suspension for a couple of weeks until I can do the rear coil conversion with spacers and torsion twist up front? Ordinarily I would wait, but a guy wants to trade me straight across for my 285's and he is moving out of town soon. I guess I could possibly do the twist while I was waiting for the rear parts. idk, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

the rear would probably be okay but you would def wanna do the twist right away. then you can wait till you get your conversion kit.

Are the stock 16x7 wheels wide enough for a 315?

i would have to say no. you could probably get away with a 9" wide rim but i am pretty sure 7 is going to be too narrow.

That is what I thought. I knew I was pushing the limit with 285's on a 7 in rim.

Well that sucks! I didnt think my 285's looked too bad on my stock rims... Has nobody tried it?

Buy some cheap 16x9 or 16x10 steelies (craigslist or ebay for $200 or less is common) and mount those 315's. Then crank your keys and bulldog it until your spacers come in.

from what i have seen online you could get away with a 16x8" rim. that would have to be the smallest. it says that you have a range of 8-10 for rim width.

JD, bulldog is the other way around. lower in the front, higher in the rear...you are thinkin cali lean...
