Looking at getting ET Streets: 28X11.50-16LT up front and 28X12.50-16LT in the rear. Can I get away with using stock 16x7 aluminium rims???

 

Good question... i was contemplating on doing that myself... i really dont feel like dropping money into new rims.

 

You might with the 11.50 but not with the 12.50 why not run the 11.50 all the way around. I think they want you to run a 8'' rim with the 11.50 and probably a 10'' with the 12.50.

 

An 11.5" tire will have no problems on stock rims.

33 X 12.5" tires are regularly used on 8" rims in the "Jeep" world (my "other" life)...

I agree that 12.5" tires are a little too wide for stock, but the narrower size is a no-brainer...

..how they will look is another ???

 

I AM GUESSING YOU ARE RUNNING A AWD ARE 4WD BUT 12.5 IS NOT GOING TO WORK ON 8" RIM THE TIRE WILL NOT SIT FLAT.THE NEW M/T TIRES ARE GREAT LOVE THEM I HAVE THE 255/55/16 I HOOK GOOD.YOU WOULD BE BETTER RUNNING 11.5 ALL THE WAY AROUND IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT.

 

i run 26x11.5 on stock 16x7 stock alloys

 

thats what i run on my stock 4.8 rims (chrome) 26x11.5x16
