Stupid question about tires

How big of a tire will fit on stock 15 x 7 rims, with no lift kit?

Stupid question about tires

I was able to fit 33x12.50 BFG's on my stock rims, they rubbed on the front bumper a tiny bit...but no big problems

Stupid question about tires

I had a set of 35's for a while. It was nice they didn't rub like a 10" rim would.

Stupid question about tires

I ran 33x12.50s on mine it was a '78. The rear rubbed on the innerfenders when flexing it, but no rubbing in the front.

Stupid question about tires

I just put Buckshot PR78s on my 83 Bronco with no lift. The tires specifically call for 15 X 7 rims. The tire diameter is 32.7 inches. The only place I rub is on the radius arms at full wheel lock.

In my opinion, this is the best option if you want to drive through the swamp to the deer camp with confidence (without a lift.) And by the way, they handle a whole lot better than the 12.5's.
I am sold on these tires.

Stupid question about tires

On My 88 I have 32x11.50 and they get to the radius arm only if you turn the wheel all the way into the lokc. 1/8 turn back in the rubbing is gone.
