Will this work? The stock rim is 7.5" & New rim is 9"

Some people have said no it won't work.

Some people said yes it will work, just will stretch the tire slightly. I believe I've also seen pictures of it done. Looks fine in a picture.

Local Tire Kingdom location #1 said they cannot mount because it's not "recommended" in their book, but that I should find a mom and pop tire shop to mount them.

Local Tire Kingdom location #2 says they don't see why it would be a problem to mount them for me.

Any confirmations or insight on this? Yes, eventually I am getting 33s.

 

Anyone? Bump it up

 

If you drive it like a Hurst, you'll probably be ok. The installer is probably going to have a hard time getting the tire to take a bead. And if you wheel it hard, or take hard corners, you may have a hard time keeping a bead.

 

X2 You want at least 2" differnce from tire to rim to hold a bead, at least thats been my experiance.

 

Thanks for the input guys. It worked out nicely. Had a custom off road shop install, and they didn't even mention concern and it looks fine. Now it's time for a 2" tf leveling kit
