I've tried searching for this but couldn't quite find an answer. Is it unsafe or are there any draw backs from mounting a 35X12.50X16 tire on the factory 16x7 rim?. Does anyone make a 35X10X16? Thanks in advance.

 

You probably could, but wouldn't. Stick with a 285x75x16 Or 295, or get new rims.

 

A 16X7" rim is designed to hold a maximum size tire. A 35" tire exceeds that recommended size and diameter. As windyhill pointed out, a 285 or 295/75X16" tire will fit without fitment or rubbing problems on turns. A 315 will hit on full wheel turn, especially in rough terrain. If you decide to go 35's, I concur with windyhill that a larger rim like a 10" rim would be the way to go.

Hope it works out for you... and Welcome to FTE!!!

12.50" wide tire is too wide for a 7" wheel. I run my 12.50's on 10" wheels and they fit perfect. Widest tire you should be putting on a 7" wheel is around 10".

 

Can I run 295/75/16 with no problems on the 16" 6 hole rims. I have a 350 with Plow Package. Not sure how wide they are from the factory.

 

the previously mentioned tire (295) is the widest reccomended for stock rim, You are not limited only by width but also offset, anything larger will rub as previously mentioned, I have 17" by 12" rims with the size tire you mentioned and it's a great look! Good luck, Eric

Rec. rim 16x7-9

It's not an E-rated 10 ply tire but does have a good load rating for a 8 ply. I have been thinking of running these, but haven't got the lift kit yet. I like the height of 35 inch tires, but don't want the rolling resistance of the 12.5" tire. I haven't heard how the SSR handle or wear, these are just my observations while searching for tires.

 

thank you all for the great advice.
