Title: 235/75R15 on 15x8
Post by: Da67goatman on April 13, 2011, 04:43:21 pm

Has anyone put LT235/75R15 on a 15x8"?  What are the measurements? (tape measure is close enough)  And I would like to see some pics of the tires mounted on the rims, I'm debating weather to get 15x7" or 15x8" rims and I'm thinking the tire might look stretched on the 8".  Thanks.

I don't have access to any nowadays to take a measurement, but I've run that size on an S10 and an XJ Cherokee and 7" wide was the right width, in my opinion.

They came that way from the factory so you will be fine.

I know they will fit, I just want to see how they look, I have a feeling they will look stretched to fit the 8" wide wheels.  A couple of pics should clear this up quick.

ill tell you it doesnt look right to have 235's on a 15x8, on a 4x4. and especially with 31x10.5's in the back. lol

I would love a picture!  Can you get a picture of the rim and tire combo from the tread looking down or from the front of the truck.  I am interested in how the sidewall bulges or lack there-of.

^That's such a sweet looking truck.

Goat, aren't you running 33's on your suburban?

They aren't for my suburban, they are for my Mom's Grand Cherokee, she wants new rims and tires and I'm trying to come up with a good size combo.  Thanks for the pics.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow around 1-ish. It really doesn't look bad.
