same tires on wider rims

[Nacho-RT74]

Is there a problem try to fit currently tires... 255/60-15 installed on 15x6 stock iron rims, on to 15x7 rims

is just one inch difference that have been used along maybe 1000-1500 miles

[Rolling_Thunder]

no problem there - my old 255/60's were mounted on 15X8 with no problems at all

[Nacho-RT74]

thanks... I was worried about damage tires because probably different worn areas and pressure between tires and ground

[Nacho-RT74]

so... definitelly there is no risk on damage tires reusing them on a wider rim ? ( just 1" wider )

Nacho,

Tires have recommended rim width from the manufacture.  I would say you are fine.  Often people disreguard that info.  Realize they usually only wear different outside the recommended size.  AGAIN with in reason.

Nacho, you could out those 255/60-15 on a 8 inch wheel with no problems at all. In fact, a 6 inch wheel is a bit to narrow in my opinion.

[GreenMachine]

The Summit Racing catalog has a chart for that: 245/60-15  6" to 8"  and 275/60-15  8" to 10". They don't have your size but it looks like it would be 7" to 8".

yes I know I can use them on 7", but from new tires... my question is about no problems on refit SAME USED tires on another width rims, since maybe surface will be contacted on street on different way.

Thanks guys...

mount them on the new tires then go do a burnout to equalize the tread pattern.

[Nacho-RT74]

LOL... do you know what ? I never have done a burnout

[Blown70]

LOL... do you know what ? I never have done a burnout

SHAME,  COME ON NACHO.....

well i didnt know we had any 12 year old girls on this board....... get on it!

[Nacho-RT74]

hahaha... maybe

talking about rims again... I found 4 15x6 Keystone Klassic what I want to convert on to 15x7... piece of cake, that is possible to do it here just removin center and installing/welding them on another ring.

My question is they need to be rechromed... do you know what kind of material are they ? Iron ? Steel ? aluminium ?

[Nacho-RT74]

OK just went to a welding shop, and they told me center keystones rims are aluminium, welded on to iron ring. and they told me NOBODY IN VENEZUELA welds aluminium to iron... so they gave me a better option.
Polish the center area of rim, weld also on to aluminium Ring ( available here )... get everything polished, that will look like chromed

what do you think guys about a complete aluminium polished "keystone" rims ?
