I'm running 315/70r17 on my stock (7.5") wheels and they are just fine. I've even had them down to 12psi while off-road without issue. I purchased my tires from Discount and they mounted them.

I'll confirm, 3 guys in my club run 315/70/17 on the stock 7.5" wide wheel. Granted we don't air down less than 18 psi because there aren't that many large rocks down in south Florida. But no on has ever come across a problem.

Tire guy sad he wouldn't recommend installing on a 7.5 inch rim due to risk of rollover. Then pointed to my kids I had with me and said. You gotta be safe with them in the back.
Kinda hit home.
