Hey guys.. Here are a couple pictures that I took of my stock rims that I run in the winter time ! The whole inside lip is worn off... It may be from running the bigger tires on a narrow 7.5" rim.. not sure.. I've never seen it before !!

Hope that worked !!

 

Check the back side of your stock rim if you're running bigger tires !!!!

 

Wow how many miles did you have on those rims running what sized tire the 315s?

 

 

How big of a tire were you running?

 

The truck has 270,000 Kms on it ! These rims aren't on all the time..... but a good portion of it they were !! Lots of miles with 285's on them... the last few months they've had 315's !!!

 

Gotta love a truck that wares rimes out before wareing the truck out

 

Yikes my truck has had 285s on for over 50-60K I hope that doesn't happen to me I have the same Lariat wheels.

 

Yikes... better check mine!

 

Look on the back side of the rims !!! You can tell if you have the problem without taking the tire off.. you'll see a thin lip of aluminum starting to peal off... The only reason I noticed is I went to rotate the tires and pieces of alumi was sticking out !!

Its a good thing to take a look at for everyone that is running stock rims with 285's or bigger !! Might leave ya stranded with more than one flat all at once !! The chances are slim.... but !!! I'd look ! I've never scene a rim to this in my time !!!!

 

I'm gonna check mine right now...

 

Reps to you for pointing this out. My wife's truck has 285's. I need to check this tonight.

I wonder why the tire change place never noticed a problem when you got new tires?

 

Its my friends shop... I was there when we put the 315's on in November.... We didn't notice any sign of this problem ! Put about 8000 kms on the 315's went to rotate and there it was... big..... bold... and staring you in the face !!!

 

hmm guess I'll have a look at mine too

What is the theory to the issue?

 

That's even more scary they can get that bad that quick.
