tire rim combo

[Sqeejo]

35x12.5x15 on a stock K5 rim? I am trying to save a little by not having to run new wheels. Mine can be painted and will work for me.

Yesh, they can fit.

They will be squeezed onto the rim, but it will work.

Yup, I ran 35 x 12.5's on stock 16.5 x 6.75" rims for many years.

I ran my 35s on stock rims also. Worked fine for me!

That beign said without being flamed for not searching, what would the stock steelie size be on a 83 Blaze

(Never bothered to find out since I never thought about reusing them. )

My 85 with the rally style rims were 15x8's IIRC

 

[jt512]

oh, I ran 35's on them with no problems as well, a 12.5" wide tire will work fine on a 8" wide rim.

Sweet action. Thats what I wanted to hear.

(For those wondering I am getting together my Cheap projects to try to wheel in the spring so I can quit getting burnt out. )

15x7 or 15x8. 15x7 was more common in the 80's.

Thats no bueno. Anway to tell without pulling a tire off the rim?

It's stamped on the inside of the wheel somewhere. Might be a bit rusty but it's there if it's a genuine GM wheel. 15x7JJ or 15x8JJ.

Either will work. 15x7 isn't optimum but bunches of us on here have run narrower rims with 12.5" wide tires.

i had them on a set of 88-98 style rims which i think are alittle under 7".

Thats good to know. I can spend the 300-400 dollars better somewhere else.
