I want to put 215 85 16's on these but am afraid that the wheels are too wide. I know that 7" wide is the acceptable limit for this size, but will it look odd? Has anyone seen 215 85's on a 7" wheel, and are the 3 spokes 7" in the first place?

Lots of offroading and no problems. I now have 255/85s on them BFG MTs. No problems although Im planning on putting Steelies on it as they just dont look right with bigger tires.
