hi.. I just got a new set of 17x9 series 186 American Eagles delivered to my door. On the box it states a MAX. tire diameter of 32" for 17" wheels.. but in the installation guide, it states a MAX. diameter of 30".. what the??? what gives here? Is this for their car wheels? This wheel has a rating of 3,420 lbs.. I just looked the M/T Classic II up and their rating is only 3000 lbs? I never even thought about the max. tire diameter before I ordered these wheels, it's not stated on either AE's or M/T's website. Are they just protecting themselves from lawsuits here or what?

 

Hmm, with a 3420 lb load capacity I don't think it matters.

 

pt.. that's what I thought too. guess they just don't want to be liable for any problems?

 

I'm running 37's on my 186's and never really gave it any thought. Tire shop never mentioned anything either. So far so good, been on there for 5 months.

 

Probably their way of saying knock yourself out but dont come crying to us afterward.

GAME ON!!
