Post width of 16in factory rim?

I got those 3 point type rims that are 16 inches, I just don't think I ever knew how wide they where? And what is the widest tire they count mount?

thanks

I think (but I am NOT sure) that they are 7" wide. Some people have reported that 285's will fit, but most tire manufacturers recommend a wider rim for that width tire.

I thought they were all 7" wide too. And the 17" rims were 7.5" wide. Maybe I am crazy.

But of course ATST can really work "the deal" and may have gotten hers to "swell" a little!

Like I said, when a man tells me how big something is, I should take that # and subtract!
