If you notice on the tire size they give you a recommended wheel width, i.e. 6-8 inches. That is where you need to start. There are usually different heights (circum.) of tires that will fit on the recommended wheel width. I hope this helps.

Correct. That is what Summit says will fit on a minimum wheel width of 6.5". These should be good to go with.

I think it would be well worth it. I have MT et streets bias plys and they hook awesome. I don't even have to let pressure out of them most of the time and they would hook without spinning at all.
