I am needing new tires and I have a question on section width. According do BFG's website, their 235 ATs have a section width of 9.1" on a 6.5" rim and section width varies 0.2" for every 0.5" in rim width. So, does this figure into a section with of 9.3" on a 7" rim? I know they are approximates figures.
The reason I ask is because the Swamper STS Radial in a 29x10.5 has a section width of 8.8", but they don't list a wheel width. They just list approved widths of between 7"-9". Since every other tire I have looked at seem to use the middle of the width range to get section width, then I would assume they are using an 8" rim. If so, then that would put the section width on the STS to 8.4" on a 7" rim.
If these numbers are correct then I see no reason why the 29x10.5 wouldn't fit on a stock 15x7 with little to no rubbing, but something just doesn't seem to add up here.
I am I anywhere correct or just completly lost??
Thanks for any input.
