Tire width is 11.22 inches. I would not recommend a 6.5 wheel.

It's def possible But they recomend a 8 for that application however there are LOTS of trucks like F250s running them on stock 6.5 in wheels... I Ran mine like that for a few months Before I could afford the new Wheels! Wheels now are 9inchers on 285-75-16 BFG Ko AT
