10.50" wide tire on 6" rim

I have the stock 6" wide steel rims for my K5. Are 10.50" wide tires ok for these rims?

That was a good thread with some really nice trucks! Does anyone else run 10.50s on 6" wheels?

You can do it. Not within the range they recommend though. With that said I'm getting ready to mount up my 36 12.5 16.5 Wrangler RTII on some factory 6.5" dually rims for my K30.

I have what's roughly a 30.5x10-R15 (can't remember the metric size) on my 'Burb's original 5.5" rims and they're not unmanageable, but aren't wearing very well and ride spongy. If I had it to do again I'd go with 235/75's and live with the slightly shorter tire.
