    thats a little wide for a 235x75 tire. use a 6" or 7" rim. It can go on a 8" rim, but the sidewall will be very vulnerable to curbs and rocks, ect. and (I think) it will look funny.

    a 31" tire will fit Ok on an 8" rim. its just a little wider and taller than a 235x75.

    I had that size tire on 15x8's for awhile. They did okay and didn't look out of place.

    Well they fit and dont look to bad. Buuuuuuttttt, Is it just me or when you order something or put something together it's #%$@ up? Well, I was so happy getting tires mounted, I put 2 on going good until the 3rd. Two of the rims are 2.375 between lug holes, I need 3.250.:mad: 4WD Hardware were cool about it, 2 rims are on there way.
