Hey guys, so i have a quick question. I dont know much about wheels/tires/rims etc, so i'll ask you guys.

I might buy these used Tires that are 305/60/18, and I'm curious if they'll fit my 70th anniversary Sahara rims. (7.5x18")

here's a pic. Also i dont know anything about rubbing/offset etc. I do have a 2" lift in the front and a 1" lift in the rear. (tera-flex spacer kit budget boost)

Thank you so much!

 

They will fit your wheels. A 305/60/18 math's out to a 32.4" tire. 12" wide though so I would run a wheel spacer for clearance and a better look. Many people run 35x12.5 on stock wheels all the time (with wheel spacers of course)

 

Would they still fit without spacers? they can be expensive & I'm on a college budget lol

 

Hard to say but they will more than likely rub. I know thats not the answer you probably want to hear though :(

 

Ah no problem, thank you for the insight!

 

Very likely to rub when you turn. Also, those look really worn. Probably not a safe purchase. A good chance they are not perfectly round and will be hard to balance and will ultimately put a lot of stress on ball joints, and other joints. Plus, there is no spare.

 

Ah I see. well they look like a decent deal. you guys don't recommend the purchase I guess? I need some AT's for my 18" rims. what sizes should I be looking for? I want 33's or around that.

 

X2 ^. Unless your current tires are in worse shape (less remaining tread) I'd put that $100 toward a new set of tires when the time comes. Rubbing will almost certainly occur with that width on stock wheels.

 

Okay thank you guys.

what max width should I go with on these wheels?

Height and width both need to be considered in terms of rubbing. So, there is no direct answer to that question. Without spacers, you won't be able to go much larger though.
