    10.5/11/11.5 tyres on 15's

    Ok so i just bought some 15" rims for the rangie, was told they were 15x8", guess what - theyre 15x7" anyway, the tyres i ordered for them are goodyear wrangler MT/R 32" which are either a 11 or 11.5" wide tyre, i was told 11 by someone, but the website seems to say 11.5, my question is, will either of these tyres fit on a 7" rim, one rim has a 31x10.5 on it now and it looks as though a wider one would fit easy, though reading in the BFG brochure (one i had on hand) it says recomended minimum tyre width for a 11.5 is 8"

    Anyone?

    i am chasing a simlar rabbit...

    would love MTR's, they dont do a 33x10.5x15 only 33x11.5x15

    3 leading tyre places said not to fit 11.5 on 7 inch rims, but i have seen plenty in car parks...

    10.5 is usually about the limits for a 7" rim, though it varies per tyre manufacturer. 11.5's I'd be looking for 8" rims.

    Could be an insurance issue there, fitting a tyre that is not recommended for the rim size but the 33" tyres are legal issue anyway. (Talking on-road here)

    Thats exactly it, there is a difference between it fitting and voiding your insurance.

    Fortunetaly......Un? some of those are kind of null and void from having insurance for the moment (very pretty driving record) That isn't a great concern
