Discount Tire told me that their fitment guide only recomends a 275 for an 8" wheel. I have seen many trucks with stock polished aluminum second gen 8" wide wheels with 315's on them. Has anyone had any other experience with Discount Tire?

Each tire manufacturer will have a minimum and maximum wheel size for each tire. Most companies list a 285 being fine on an 8" rim. I have been running 315-75-16 bfg's and goodyear ats tires on 8" rims with no ill effects for over 50,000 miles. Don't know if this will help you with Discount Tire though?

I've ran 315s on my 16x8s for a while now and haven't ran into an issue yet.

Most tire manufacturers I've seen have a rim width of 8 to 10 inches for their 315 tires. There are LOTS of folks running 315's on an 8" rim.

I'm running a 325/80 (37/13.00) on an 8" wheel, have been for the last 190K.
Maybe this is why my front wheels bearings have lasted 243K so far??

I ran 315's on an 8" wheel for over a year with no issues.

Discount Tire mounted 315/75R16s on 8" rims for me.

An 8" wide rim is among Toyo's recommendations for a 315/75R16 size tire: Toyo

Well they didnt even talk about brands, all I told them is I wanted a 315 and the guy started telling me it wasnt recomended with an 8" wheel and that it would cause premature tire wear and this and that. I will just find another location that will mount them.

Check out RJohnsons ride.....he has 315's on stockers.....dont look to bad at all really......I have mine on 16x10" and they look OK....but i got used to it (Except for when i hit any puddle!).....and i got a Set of H2 wheels ready to stick on as soon as i score some 315 R17's BFG's

Personally I think 35s or 315s are too fat on 10" rims.

Dang it i need to find some 17" Tires!!!! Note: (Partial hijack) I have heard that someone out there is making a non descriptive H2 Center cap. Meaning that there is no HUMMER on it......i might need to find those.....rumors say they have been seen on eBay...but i haven’t found them yet.....(Nor have I looked )

I'm going to install my stock Dodge centers on them, but they need to be massaged still some more to fit. I have the OEM Hummer centers too but I think those look ghay

Diesel-Dan

Ya know....cant say i have ever seen a dodge with the H2 Centers on them.....they do look good with the Stock Dodges....but i may run the G-Hay ones until i can scare up some more Stockers......only have one at the time......should have paid more attention to that eBay auction.....not one of my brighter moments i should say......was hacked i only got one in the mail until i re-read the auction......live and learn.....
