who here is pushing 235 wide rubber on their 7.5" rim

I am a little dissapointed I didn't go with 235 wide rubber on my 7.5" wide rim because of my original fear of being too wide for the rim and facing rolling sidewall problems. Has anyone had any problems withing going this wide of a tire on a 7.5" wide rim?

A lot of people run that combo. Shouldn't be a problem, it within range of the suggested sizes. Some people even put 235's on the stock 7" wheels, which i highly recommend against.

Cool...looks like I will be going with 235/40/18 next time instead of 225/40/18...the 235 is also closer to oem spec too.

I also have been running 235 on my stock SE wheels for the past 3.5 years with no problems whatsoever
