tire question

Hey, I got a question, I was looking at some 18in rims by 7.5 and 1 inch lip, I was wondering what is the biggest size that i could put on there that would be safe, and not peal off the rim.

Thanks.

Widest recommended size would be a 235 width.

you really want bigger tires...... buy wider wheels. I would not waste my money on anything less than an 8" wheel (Personally I like 9s)

except for winter tires, of course

go wide, or stay stock.
