I have 32x11.50 Ground Hawgs, i believe they are meant for 15x8" rims...

would it be okay or unsafe if I mounted them on 15x7.5"?

they should be okay , i've had 31x10.5x15 on 7" rims might look a little squished and roll the sidewall in , but you shouldn't blow a bead lol.

They will be fine on the 7.5 inch rims. Most of the members here will state that they prefer 8 inch wide rims for a 12.5 inch wide tire, so 7.5 inch wide rims for a 11.5 inch wide tire should be fine.

So you're saying 32x11.5x15's will work fine on a 15x7 rim as well? And will 32's be fine on stock axles? I need tires soon but will stick with 31's if I have to
