Real Wheels = brand name/company? Just checking.

Glad I could help. Mickey Thompson recommends up to a 13 inch rim, but you can stretch them out onto one more your liking. Tread wear will be increased on wider rims, so don't expect to get the full mileage out of them if driving on the street. Otherwise enjoy they are a very good tire.

Welcome to Real Racing Wheels

16" Off Road non DOT Wheels custom made WIDE as you want with any back spacing

No Metric bolt patterns I don't think.

01,
Was your old tire a 35x12.50 OR 33x12.50 ? .... & on 10" rim ??

The new 375 MTZ is much wider as you previously stated

That MTZ appears to be a good 2" taller than your old 35"

I really like that size

I jus wonder if IT or the Toyo Open Country 385/70-16 would makes less noise on the road ??

This site converts metric sizes to inches for you Old Schoolers like me :

Both tires are similar in tread pattern. Putting either tire on a 16 inch wide rim is going to increase road noise some. Probably not a lot of difference in road noise from either tire. The mtz are very quiet on the road even compared to the 35 inch tires I had. Non dot wheels could be a whole new issue if you are planning on running them on road. The height and width difference in the two tires is what I wanted to illustrate with that picture. I could not find a similar picture when I was trying to make a choice on new tires.

I'm undecided on rim width ..... I may stay w my 12" Weld's IDK ?

I don't see a wider rim making any more noise tho & Only wearing center of tread IF overinflated.

Not being ugly at all, or debating.

Btw, thanks for that size illustration. Pic is worth 1000 words

Ive always like the oposite of the stretch tire, thiner wheel with wide tall tire. These wheels tire combos remind me of the super modify street trucks on sled pulling, regardless they still look kick donkey just post pictures when you install them
