    John,I think 5.60's look fine on 4 inch rims,ok on a 4 1/2 rim.Anything wider and they look 'stretched'.What stud patern are your wheels?15 or 16 inch?
    Cheers,
    Mark.

    if we could put 195/50/15 ons 10" wide wheels i think its possible lol
     
  6. We put 155/80/13's or 5.20x13's on 13x7's & 5.20 or 5.60x14's on 14x7's all the time. The tire shops usually need a special "ring" to take up the space between the tire & rim, when filling the tires up with air, to set the bead. Yours shouldn't be a problem. They won't look bad either.

    Yo Bro, Ive got 640 firestone on my 15 x 5" wheels. They are one size larger than 560s (just a little bit larger) and would look good on 6" rims. 670s are to big! 640s are the way to go if your running 6" wheels

  8. Depends on the look you want. The lowrider crowd does it all the time, Hot Rodders would look for a 4-5" rim

    Or a bead blaster, a 5 gallon tank with a dump valve to "explode" the beads out to seat on the rim.
