Tire Question

Would it be a big problem to run 32x11.5 on my 15'' wheel, it is 7'' wide (I know it will cause it to balloon out). I have another set of 15's that are 8'' wide, but I would rather use the 7'' wide ones....Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Generally you want to stay within 4" but going over .5" is fine. I know some people with 11.5" tire on a 7" rim and there are a ton of people with a 12.5" tire on an 8" rim and I run a 14.5" tire on a 10" rim. They just balloon more but hold the bead better at lower PSI.

No questions i'd run it. My buddies dad owns a mechanic shop/gas station and there aint no tellin how many stock wheels and oversize tires ive mounted and balanced. Nobodys ever came back and complained. You'll be fine, down here in the south the farther your tire sticks out the more badass you are lol.
