Too thin of rim. You can physically mount it but it's not safe and it's much easier to pop the bead. You need atleast an 8" wheel, but preferably 8.5-10".

You can but as MustangGT221 said it isn't safe. I have a set of 33x12.5x15 performance street radials on 15x7.5's but that's only until I get my 15x10 rims in two weeks.
