Just wondering if the 10.5 inch drag radial would fit on a 7 inch wheel?

 

MT suggests taking the tread witdh and using a rim +or - 1". If your looking for a 28" tall tire they only have 11.50 or 12.5 on a 16" rim. On the 11.50 tire the tread width is 8.7" They suggest 7-9 rim.

I think some here are even running 26-11.50/10.50 on the 6.5 stock steel w/out problems.
Are you planning to use the 7" stock aluminum? Try it, you can always uprade to a 8" rim for cheap. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
If your're looking at the bfg drag radials I believe the 255/50 16 suggest a 6.5-9.5 rim.
The tire sites should have the rim requirements posted.

So.....An 11.5 inch tire will work on a 7 inch wheel as well?

I've got 11.5's on the stock rim and they work fine.
