Waiting can suck but there is a noticeable difference between the 7 and 8`s.....6`s and 7`s are very close

I'd have to look again, but I think they're 235/60/15. Not crazy huge, but meaty!

I have 235/60R15 all around on 7" wheels and think they look fine.
 They'd look good with an 8" wheel too though. |

Hurry up and buy what's available, before your Wife changes her mind and buys a new refrigerator instead.
She's probably up to something that you're not going to like later, using this as a negotiating point, to lay on you to get something. Probably wants the Kitchen repainted  |

Nope it Is stock for G60 series. What happens is a G60 tire will be lightly lower profile on an 8 inch rim without much pear shape at the bottom. Though anything wider on a 7 inch tire the pear shape becomes even more so. Guys who like lowering, will stretch a low profile tire that fits an 8 inch rim and fit it on a 10 incher. They get a wee bit of side wall on the tread path with a flat sidewall not bulging out. It helps with better control, but can have side puncture at the edge of the tread. To go higher side wall on a 8 inch tire, go with a 255, amd It will be like the G60 tire on the 7 inch wide rim. Though you can have tire rub at hard turns, assuming back spacing is very close to keep tires from rubbing fenders. |
