16's on 16.5

[JMK777]

can you fit a 16" tire on a 16.5" rim? any one done it?

 

[ripmf666]

no

 

[06blackmax]

Definatley NO.

 

[JoshH]

Nope!

And just as a little extra, I would never run a 16.5" wheel. They have no safety bead, so if your tire goes flat, it can be very unsafe.

That's exactly the reason they have went away.

Don't try this

 

[TheBac]

no no no no no

Why do you think 16" LT tires have the "Do not use on 16.5 rims" warning molded into them in the first place?

 

[ChevyDieselLLY]

Can you. Oh I'm sure you could. Is it unsafe. Sure the hell is and I wouldn't want to be in the truck or on the road with you for that matter. Don't do it.

 

[JMK777]
