Default Wheel Source?

I am planning on upgrading to 15" tires/wheels, and I have decided to go with what has worked well for me as far as tires and that is Maxxis M8008. They have ST225/75R15 in both 8PR and 10PR, so they have loadrange D and E. The Maxxis website states that the minimum wheel width is to be 7". I have found many places to get 6" wheels in the white spoke 15x6 5/4.5, but I cannot find 7" wheels with the 5/4.5 configuration and a load range of 2600 each.

Does anybody know where I can get 15x7 5/4.5 white spoked wheels?

What would happen if I put the tires on a 6" wheel? Would that void the tire warranty?

Thanks.
Larry

Larry -

Look for a post on the topic by Rocky Mountain Ray. He went to 15-inch tires on 7-inch rims, and the tires hit the wheel well covers. Not pretty.

You might want to rethink.

Thanks Bill,

Bobby just straightened me out by PM as well, I will go with 6" wheels. I don't mind trimming the ABS wheel covers or adding washers behind the screws, but I don't want rubbing anywhere at all, that would defeat the benefit of going to 15".
