265's on a 7" rim??

Anybody ever cram 265's on a 16x7 Jeep rim? I need to change tires on the Jeep truck (the mudders on it are terrible on the pavement) and if I have to buy a set of tires I want to buy new ones for my F350. The tires I have on it now are good enough for the Jeep, but will they fit is the question? anyone know how wide a 265/75/16 would be on a 7" rim?

 

Mike, my 97 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 came factory 265/75/16 on 16x7 alloy wheels. My truck has about 8 1/4" inches tread contacting the ground; with the sidewall bulge about 10" overall
(Goodyear tires)

Thanks, Jim. That was just what I needed to know.

 

Okay this may be off topic, but what do those numbers mean? Is a 265/75/16 265 mm wide with a sidewall that is 75% of 265 mm on a 16 inch rim? I'm tire size newbie

 

I have 285's on 16 X 7 rims. work fine

 

these two pages have become my favorite for reference. You can browse other interco models for a few other sizes, and the exact numbers refer to their models only, but it gives a good idea of ideal rim size and metric conversion when looking at the tables.
