Stock crome rim width of my 98 4x4
I want to run LT315/70R16 Toyo open country M/T and it recommends a 8-10 inch rim. Some tire places are saying I can get by with a 7.5 but others say no way has to be 8 at least.

Thanks guys
I will be (maybe) installing a Carli starter system hence the bigger tire (I really want a 35in tall tire), I just didn't want to buy rims right now

A full inch too narrow is far from ideal... But there might be some wiggle room. Or not.

We run 295 & 305 BFGs on the '98 stock 6.5" rims - no clearance issues on the truck, but we usually just keep that wheel/tire combo on the aluminum GN... and yes, those skinny rims do tend to pull the shoulder up a tad!

Yeah, that actually is correct Hohn....thats why I said "a 285 is the biggest tire I would run on this narrow of a wheel."
Even so, there are some tire shops that might not mount 285's on these wheels.
