RE: widest tire for weld draglite 15 x 7
275's on a 7" rim is the dumbest thing I've heard. Even on an 8" it's not recommended. 9" rim is suitable for a 275 tire. 8" rim will fit a 255 and I would not recommend using a 7" rim in the rear. Why go narrower than stock rim size? Unless it's for the front.

Hmmm, thank you for proving my point. Although I know you were trying to prove me wrong. Lets see minimum is 7.5" and maximum is 9.5" which leaves between 8" and 9". What did I say...that's right 7" is stupid and 9" is suitable although 8" could work(just not recommended). Why don't you learn how to read before you post a response...and grow up while you're at it. Honestly who makes derr derr derr comments other than teenagers? Now...thank you
