    My steer rims are 9 inch wide. Reason is I run bigger tires up front
    All the other 12 on the back are standard width

    Gentlemen, if you achieve whatever it is you look for, kindly maybe take a shot with camera of that new wheel and tag me to see it a while.

    Yes they do, and for us car haulers, so do 295/60's. Both can run on a standard 8.25" wheel, but the weight rating on the tire is reduced.

    For the original question, if you have standard 8.25" wide wheels all the way around, then they are the same.

    As long as the are hub piloted . Also stud length can be a issue if swapping alum in for steel rims .
