rims i bought....question
i bought a set of rims a while back that came off a '93 bronco. they are factory rims, chrome. here is a pic-----> http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/pu...sp?id_=1629458
the guy i bought them from said they were 15x8. i measured them and they seem to be 15x7 1/2. maybe i'm measuring wrong.
did they make factory rims for the bronco 8 inches wide in '92 or '93? will 7 1/2 inch rims fit 31/10.5 tires alright?

The rims should be a 15x8 but even if they are 15x7.5, they will still work. My buddy has a ranger with 15x7 rallies-that he out BFG T/A KO 31x10.50 on and they look good little balloning effect. so it should work and look good/perform well also.

My stock rims were 7.5" on my 92. 31x10.50's were fine on it. My brother has them on his 76 now. They made both 7.5" and 8" for a while. Different option packages determined which rim width you got.

Most tire manufacturers do not recommend putting 12.5" tires on 7.5" rims. BFG for one recommends a minimum of 8.5" rims.

No Problemo, I just got a set of rims also, factory 10hole with the fake rivets around the edges. I just bought a set of Bridgestone Dueler AT Revos and didn't have a problem. Tire size was 31x10.5x15.

On-road and probably mild off-roading probably wouldn't be an issue. It's just when doing any kind of serious off-roading that you're risking popping a bead loose when the tires are too wide (or too narrow) for the rim.
