dont think id be using him.........235 on a 7.5 is a bit wide for that wheel....225 would be better also what offset are you using?im running a et35 so the widest i can go with out modding the arches is 215's....

but need to know the offset to give you a answer

as ormi says those tyres are too wide for a 7.5 j rim...id avoid, certainly on the front

the rims are et45

[ormi]

if you had a 8 inch wide wheel a 235 would be fine i myself would run a 215 or a 225 a 7.5 inch wide rim
