a 315 wide tire = what width wheel?

thanks for your help

something in the ball park of an 11" wide wheel

Re: a 315 wide tire = what width wheel?
 

about 12 inches is the tire. It really depends to the whole tire size, and vehicle application.
ie, you could have a 315-30-19, on the back of some car with 19x12's. VS. a 315-50-15 on a 92 chevy silvarado with 15x10 wheels.

So please post a little more detail, so we can see what you are working on.

12" wheel

Re: a 315 wide tire = what width wheel?
 

u can put 315's on an 11" rim and they will fit fine.

Re: a 315 wide tire = what width wheel?
 

18x10 should be fine.

I was going to say between 10-12, your choice - I have a 255/50 on my 16X8, and it is beefy...if you did a 315/30 on a 10 inch rim there wouldn't be any of that stretching you hate so much, it would be beefy as shit.

It's not really going to "stretch" on a 12" rim either. It's going to fit like it should on a 12" rim....11" should be fine as well. Any less than that and I think the tire is going to have stresses put on it that it wasn't designed for and you might get some even-wear problems.

with a 30 series tire? Aside from the mounting guys having a hell of a time getting those tires on the rim, you're still going to be putting a hell of a stress on a VERY stiff sidewall which is going to make the tire perform and wear as if it was overinflated.
