It was only for the fact that they were 6" wide...not 7" wide like a lot of stock wheels are....The 7 inchers could of handled the tire no problem...

Based on the research I did on the net....the consenses was that even though you can physically install a 10.5" tire on a 6" wide rim....it is really not recommended....tire manufactures guide is no more than 4" wider than the rim width..

So no biggie.....I'd rather be safe...I can always find some 7" wide wheels later if I don't like the look!
