They are way too wide for a 11" wide tire - you should look for a 7-8" wide rim. Your front end will be much happier. JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I think any rim wider that 8.5 is allot of stress on IFS and its wheel bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aries247 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 i was running 10" wide wheels off my 87 suburban for a long time before getting new wheels and tires and never had an issue. the only issue i had was they stuck out from the fenders about 2 inches. a tire shop will tell what they recommend.

mws Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Do some searching on tire sizes. In a nutshell, 31x10.5-15 on 15x8 with 4.5 or 4.75 backspacing is about the the biggest "easy" fit on WD's. After that, you will likely be lifting and/or cutting to prevent rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91PathSE Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 JGC lift i can run 32x11.5 my rim is 10.5 with a crazy back space the tires will stick out about 3 inches give or take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 With that, you will need to cut away a LOT of front fender if you want to be able to turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
