What size of rim...

I have found a tire that is 325/50R15 ET, I would like to know if anybody knows what width of rim that would be needed for this tire. Thanks.

Re: What size of rim...

if you do the math to convert metric to standard it should be 12.8 roughly.
325/25.4=12.795 etc.

Those are generally run on 10" wheels 90% of the time.

325s are monsters and you will need a ton of back spacing and wheel well alterations/etc. to get them to at least be flush with the flair.
I had tires that stuck out once and could not stand them.

Yeah, I know. I don't want mine to stick out either. It for a later project when I can afford to change up things for them to fit.
