Default rim width?

yeah im pretty sure in his original post he stated that the 16's have a smaller rim width then the 17's therefore it may not work out because maybe you cant get certain tires in certain widths. help the guy out dont critisize him.

255/85/16 = 33x9.50-16

285/75/16 = 33x1150-16
works for some but rub for others
This is no spacers of course
