15x6 + 235/75/15 = failboat?

Anyone? Is that too much on a thin rim?

I think thats what I have (stock) now.

I can confirm the tire size matches, and eyeballing it, the rim looks the same width....

Took it to the tire place up the road. It fits fine on the rears, and the guy said if it fits one it will fit both... (umm, ok?)

Looks like I am cleared to paint as soon as this humidity lets up.

I run those on a 8" wheel up front, no real bulge but I bet on a 6" wheel it would a bit.

Good luck with everything
