Re: Rim/tire width

Rule of thumb I learned years ago Jeff was the wheel should be 70% the width of 
the tire. 7" wheel...10" tire.

I just got a new set of those Halibrand copies from Jegs yesterday, but 
I don't like the fact that the front and rear rims look like the same 
offset, even though the fronts are 7" and the rears are 8". What I'd 
like to know is if anyone has ever mounted a 275/60/15 tire on a 10" 
wide wheel? If so, how much tire bulge was there? Right now those tires 
are mounted on a pair of 8.5" Torguethrusts and they bulge 1" at the 
face and rear.
