Default Can You Squeeze a Hoosier 305/680R18 on
a 10.5" wheel? Hoosier recommends a rim width of 11.5-12.5 but they also recommend a 11-12 width for their 315/30-18 and everyone runs them on a 10.5 width rim. The tires are GT60's from the Rolex series(has anyone run these?)

You should be fine, alot of people run a 315 on a 10.5 wheels, I would assume the ho-hos would be the same

make sure it clears your fender on front if it's going there.

I have ran the 305 Hoosiers from the Grand Am series on a 10.5" wheel. No problem. Look at Avatar.
