15x7 tire size...

I have 15x7 steelies.. whats the largest tire I can safely put on there? I searched, I promise...

 

i would only run 10 1/2 inch wide tires on 15x7s, i think 12 1/2 will fit but i think 10.50s would be the safer route

 

10.50's are probably the 'standard' for that wheel size.

When I owned my 96 tacoma, I had 32x11.50's on my stock rims (15x7). I had to run my air pressure lower to ensure the tread wore evenly across.

If you go wider than that, you'll have to run your tire pressure even lower.

So - If you don't wanna have to worry about tread wear,on other than recommended tire pressure - then I'd stick with the 10.50's.

 

its got 225/75/15 on there now... is that the same as 10.50x15?

 

not sure, i think there is a size conversion chart on here somewhere though

 

No, the 225/75/15 is about a 9" width

The tire calculator is at the bottom of "mods and tutorials" drop down menu at the top.....just under the TacomaWorld banner.

 

On my 96 I was told i could go 275/75/16

 

so, Im good with a 31x10.50 tire on a 15x7 rim?

 

yes...maybe bigger

 

Yeah, you're good.

 

That's what the first generation trucks came with from the factory - so Yes.
