RE: Fattest tire on stock GT wheel
Depends on the recommendations of the tire manufacturer. Some oversized tires will hold a bead on a smaller rim but others definitely require wider rims. Here are a few spec charts from popular mfg on their recommendations. Remember, just because it will fit, doesn't mean you should run the combo.....it just plain isn't safe!

There you have it in black and white. Check suggested rim width.
