Default I am confused....

I have read all over the place that my stock 16" wheels are only 7" wide, yet I have a computer printout from the dealer that shows everything on my build sheet and it states my wheels are 16x7.5?

I want to put 295/75/16's on, they require a 7.5-9.5 rim......how can I find out if I need to buy new rims or if I can use what I have?

Thanks.....I am hoping that is the case. I can think of lots of better places to spend the extra $600.

HEY BC:
yes you can run the wheels on the stock rims, just heed the advice about the offset of the wheels.

The steel wheels are the ones that are 7" wide.
