OH MAH JESUS. 295s on a 7 inch wheel?! haha whatever works. That is right about the off-road vehicles, but the concerns are not all unfounded. For on-road applications the sidewall strength and how it is mounted on the wheel is much more important as it will tend to give or roll under high g force turns if mounted on to small of a wheel. The off-road tires will usually slip on whatever surface they are traveling over before this happens. That said, there is still room to play around as I stated in my earlier post.
