sum 275s will work and you might need to remove your quads.

i would run 225s or 245s at the most and that's pushing it. If there stock 7" pony's.

Yep, 16x7 and a 255 50 is the biggest I could get on em. Its work to mount tires that big but they look good but you need to run them a little lower on pressure. Since they are crammed on a small wheel you want to run them around 28lbs of air so you don't wear out the centers too fast.
