--- Quote from: "v8kenny" ---I'm not saying they don't fit or cause any problems - what I am saying is there MAY be legal and safety issues running them on 7" rims as it seems to be a bit of a grey area depending on which manufacturer / fitter you speak to
By all means fit whatever tyres to whatever wheels you want
Due to possible safety issues I'll not bother fitting 265's to my 7" wheels thank you very much
Oh - and don't run into me with them on or I will sue your ass off !  :lol:

 :-k  Oo now, to be fair to Wolfie, it was stated that the 265 / 7" combo would be illegal, which isn't wholly the case.  :wink:

I think the problem there is, which V8Kenny has already pointed out above, is that if you do something the manufacturer doesn't recommend, then there could be problems. But in the case of the BFGs and 7" rims, there is no legal issue.

If anyone runs into me, I think I'd have the right to sue regardless of tyre and wheel combination!  :wink:

cheers

I don't have a beef with wolfie or anyone else who chooses to run this combo - its a free country
All I'm saying is be carefull and check specific brand details
If a set is illegal then all the insurance co. is going to do is run off into the sunset laughing their tits off..................................
and if this has happened after running into me then I will be chasing you and not your insurance company :wink:
