Help - Wheels & Tires

[Archive]

Hey all, kind of an addition to my previously posted message: "suspension lift and wheels". Anyone know what is the maximum width of tire that I can mount on the stock wheels (16" x 6")? I'm going to put on a 1 1/2" spacer from Off-road Unlimited so tire width shouldn't be a problem. What about another manufacturer of chrome or stainless wheel covers to replace the stock ram head (not bad, but I've seen more stylish/streamlined/smoother, customized looks?

Thanks much in advance, Phil.

The max tire size actually becomes min rim width for a given tire. This is published data that the tire sales outlet you're dealing with will have. It helps to deal with a knowledgeable 4x4 shop as they have seen/done it all.
Good luck.
