Re: wheels and tire question
A 9" tread width will fit the 7" rim ok. Obviously you can mount a much wider tire on a 7" rim but it gets really dumb looking after a point. GM put 275/60/15 on the SS 454 trucks using the 7" rim. It looks good.

Re: wheels and tire question
this is actually a double edged question...I'm looking for the widest possible tire for a 7" rim for my dirt-track car next year, so looks really don't matter AND I'm looking for the widest that look decent on the truck (unfortunatly it looking like thats also gonna be next year).

Re: wheels and tire question
I have run 275/60-15 and 255/60-15 on 7" rims. The 275/60-15 will wear out quicker though.
