I'm running 235/75/R15's on my 15x7 wheels now.

Where you don't have the sliding door to contend with, you could probably go to 245's easy. I couldn't fit the extra width because I needed the tire to fit reasonably inside the fender.

BFG makes a good tire, just be sure to get ones that are LT (light truck) rated...will help out if you carry anything heavy from time to time. I had a set of Uniroyals for about a year before I had two blowouts with them...now I'm back to BFG's

thanks jim. Can u tell me what the different numbers mean

[JimJ]

The first three numbers are the width, second set is the sidewall height, and the last is the corresponding wheel diameter.

i wouldnt go larger than a 255 on a 7" rim...

[PESteele]

so 255 is the width of the tire and the 75 is how much it sticks out from the rim

[regal8r]

first numbers are the width of the tire in millimeters, second set of numbers corresponds to the sidewall height which is a percentage of the width of the tire...say u have a 225/60/16 tire, that tire would be 225 mm wide, 60% (135mm) of 225mm height of the sidewall and last number is the rim size

Regal hit it right on the head with the explanation..... and I've put 285x75R16's on stock 7" wide wheels, what size do you have on there now?

[PESteele]

ill look

[PESteele]

I have goodyear Wrangler LT265/75R16's right now

[94bronco58]

I would stick with that size, if you wanna go a bit larger try a 285\75\16 .... If you can fit em maybe a 305\70\16 .... the 285's are just a little larger in heigth, the real difference is in the width
