Tire Question

Has anyone put 285/75/16 tires on the stock 7" wide wheels?
I have found several web sights that say 7.5" is min. for that wide of a tire. ????? Thanks

I am putting Rickson 19.5 Wheels on my '04 350 CC short bed, SRW 6.0. I don't know whether to go with the 225 R70 19.5 or the 245's. The 245's are about 2" larger than stock 265 r70 16 (e). I was wondering what the difference in performance would be with the larger tires. Any other issues?

When you write bigger do you mean diameter?
If it is, then you effectively take gear out of the rear.

Surf Fishn Truck: Could you post a picture of your truck in the gallery! I don't think I have ever seen a 12.5 inch wide tire on a 7 inch rim. I currently have 305/75/16 on a 9.5 inch rim.
