Fitting the Tire

[JuJu1289]

Hey, ive recently lifted my 87 ford ranger 4' and im gonna buy some new tires. I cant figure out how wide my wheels are but they are 15'. Here are the tires ive been looking at.http://lexington.craigslist.org/pts/1230457506.html Ill be buying the tires only from the guy. If anyone can help with my wheel width or if you know if these tires will fit. Thanks!

4' is a really tall lift, i wouldnt think youd have any trouble fitting anything under there? but seriously what rims are you currently using? if they are stock, chances are that they are 7" wide.

He might have trouble fitting 15-foot tall tires under there....

It looks like all the 15" wheels are 7" wide. http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/wheel_fitment.html
Why not just pull one off and measure?

yea sorry, was typin ' instead of ". My wheels are stock so by that article they are 7" wide. The rims thoese tires are currently mounted on are 8" rims. I dont know much about mounting tires so is that 1" difference a big deal?
