Default Is this wheel too wide for stock tires???

I really like the design of the ProComp 7069 as seen here
http://www.quadratec.com/products/92819_2903_07.htm

I was wondering if this wheel is too wide for the stock 255/75/17 M/T's? I do plan on upgrading to 33's when I either get the money or when the tires wear down.

Go to the mfg's website and look at the specs for that tire. It will show the recommended rim width range. Without looking, I will say yes, those rims are wider than the mfg's spec, so check around with your local shops to find one that doesn't have an issue mounting them.

If they're the BFGoodrich Mud Terrain's, then the widest recommended wheel is 8.5", so that wheel you're looking at would be too wide.

If your running the stock BFG mud terrains i believe the rim range is 6.5" - 8.5", but i would look on there website and look at thew spec's.

Can they be installed? Yes.

But as noted above, some shops will refuse to mount them. Just like some shops will refuse to deal with wheel spacers. Or rims that are narrower than the mfg's spec for a certain tire.

I ran BFG's 31x10.50x15 on a 10" rim before on a blazer, they were fine, You will be fine with that tire on a 9" rim, I would do it,

I have a place to mount them, just wondering if the wheel is too wide.
