Re: Tire size

I don't think there is one proper size, with a 7 inch rim you wouldn't want much wider than 10 inches of rubber, 235/75/15 is a good size about 29" tall 9" wide.

Re: Tire size

This calculator http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCal...?action=submit allows you to pick a tire size and it tells you the required wheel size.

Min tire size for a 7.00 wheel is 195/75R15, per the calculator. (7.6" section width)
Max tire size for a 7.00 wheel is 31x10.50R15, per the calculator. (10.51 section width)

Very nice website. Thanks for the info. Valentine's Day is really getting in the way of purchasing white walls. Although I could tell the wife that I'm getting her 4 new rings!!
