- For your safety, I would recommend that you not use tires wider than 185 on those 5.5" rims. And, it would be especially bad to put larger tires on the back than the front, which would further compr

- Installing tubes will obviate any problem with air leakage in the rims. However, it will also negate the speed rating of the tire; i.e., don't drive fast because of the additional heat from the fric

- If the tire is too wide the sidewall angle will be wrong and the beading will not sit squarely on the rim. Remember that all the torque is transmitted through this contact between the lip of the rim
