Default What type of wheel is this?
Does anyone know if this wheel is a true JK wheel? It is on a 2007 JK. DId they do away with this wheel after 2007? It is a 16" wheel. Buddy of mine is trying to figure out if a 265/75R16 tire will fit on this in regard to the rim width.

Thanks...

It is a stock Jeep wheel but I'm not sure of the width.

I am running 285/75/16 on factory steel wheels. He should be fine.

245 is the width of the tire in mm, so the 265 is 20mm or about 3/4" wider. It should be OK on the stock 16" wheel you posted, and will most likely hold a bit better when airing down.

Default 265 is fine
I had those on my 2008... original wheels. I've since moved to 18" wheels. There are a lot of posts with guys running 265 + on those rims. It will look good.

I ran 285/75/16 on the this style stock 16x7's for a few weeks and didn't like the way they were contacting the road. I would say 265/75/16's will be fine otherwise I'd look to a wider wheel. Be sure to check the tire spec to see the recommended min-max rim width before you go much larger.
