Can someone post a 265/50/15 pic on a 7 inch wheel? The 8 inch rims I was offered are 7 inch now.

[azmusclecar]

The seller made an honest mistake and told me he did measure the outside rim or lip and it did show 8 inches........
he finally agreed they are 7 inch SSII's..............but now I have a 265/50/15 tire that I need to mount and will it go on the
7 inch and how do they look?

I appreciate any pics provided...........I am looking at the safety and the visual as far as side bulge too..........Thanks

what does your engineer friend think?

It'll be fine. I've got 275/60-15 on a 7" rim. Yes, I know it's not a G body; just showing you that the tire fits the rim. You're probably going to need 1/4" spacers. Hey, ya know, those 17s looked pretty good after all this brainfvcking, didn't they?

Well actually no they don't .........I just can't buy that look sorry to say.....even after 5 months of looking at them............
With the cash I got from the sale I am good to buy the SSIIs and have the look I want.........
No.....the only way the Hurst Dazzlers look good is maybe in a 15 inch..........but I am going back to the old school look.

But thank you for your reply and pic............

You question it on an 8” rim? Then go on a dissertation about bad opinions and personal preference. And then consider it on a 7” rim? You can’t be serious.

Considering that smallest recommended rim width is 7.5" and with a tread width that is 2" wider than your rim and a section width of 10.70" you might want to rethink this.

Put 255/60/15 on your 7" wheel and be done with it...
