215/65/r15 on 15x8 wheels?

[wldcat10]

I am considering putting some 215/65/r15 white wall tires on my 15x8 smoothies. I was wondering if anybody has pics of of this tire and wheel size? So I can get an idea of what they look like. Is this tire too small for this size wheel?

A good rule of thum is to have the thread width the same as the rim width. The diameter of the tires should be 28 inches or more to look right on these trucks in my opinion.

So you think these tires are too small for this wheel? Would they fit?

Agreed.

TireRack lists that size as 26" tall, and designed for rims 6" - 7.5" wide.

I would say they are a bit small for your application. With that in mind, it wouldn't hurt to check load capacities too.

1 have 225/75r15s on my 15x7s and i think, in my opinion, they look really good. I think I remember they were right at 28" tall (I just have skinny whitewalls though, I couldnt afford the wide whites right now)

I'm not even entirely sure anyone makes 65 series white wall. Especially the pinner whites.
