A question about rim size...
 

I just bought a `88 Wrangler with 315/75/16 tires. I don`t have a spare tire
so I need a spare. I know that I need a 16" rim, 5 bolt 4.5" but what rim
width do I need for a 315/75/16 tire?
Thanks
Boris

An 88 with 16's?????? Stock it came with 15's. You can use any 15"
wrangler rim and a cheap tire as close to the same size as you can get
for a spare unless you have lockers all around.

I 'sure' wouldn't put a tire that large out back. It will rip the back
door off on the first off road trip. I run 33x9.5's on stock chrome
Laredo 15x7" rims with a 31 as a spare.

The '75 aspect ratio usually fits on a 7" or 8" wide rim. The original
tires were on a 7" rim with some trim packages coming with an 8" rim.

Re: A question about rim size...
 

An 8-10" rim should work. Couldn't you just remove a wheel and measure the
rim width? it's possible to do without removing the tire, if you want the
spare to match.

Most rims have the size stamped into the back side.
