Im currently running 32x11.50's on my 15x8 rims. But I need the extra towing power for the winter time (towing sled trailers). So I purchased a set of 235/75R15 studded winter tires to put on. But im wondering if they will be too "stretched" on the 8" rims and/or look completely retarded. Granted, it will look stupid anyways with tiny tires and 5" lift

Would you :

-Run them on the 8" rims anyways, they wont look too stupid?
or
-Find stock 7" rims to mount the tires on

 

Is just run em on the 8" rims.... wait those are only about 8" wide? Tires need to be a bit wider then the runs I believe or they won't seat right.

 

According to what I find on the net, it works out to be 9.25" wide, 28.8" tall

 

That ought to be ok... I run 7" wide rims with 8.5" wide tires on my mustang.

 

I run 235/75's on a 8" rim. Doesn't look bad at all. FWIW...My alignment guy told me that I need to run at least a 31 10.50 with the 8" rim cause my tires are wearing in the middle because of the stretch.

 

hmm.. may have to play around with the tire pressure a bit to get proper wear maybe?

 

Get a cheap set of rims on craigslist. It will save ya in the lo9ngrun between tire wear and mount and dismount as well as be safer.
