Another Tire Question

Sorry to make ANOTHER tire thread... I did a few searches but couldnt find anything on specifically 13" tires...
Ok, my question is will BFGoodrich Radial T/A 215/50SR13 tires fir on a 13x7 panasport rim?? Has anyone else used tires this wide on a 13" rim?? Also, will i get any rubbing? Or is everything going to be good? Thanks

not sure if it will fit or not (it should) but i think 205 if the widdest you can go on the front. i know my 205's are pretty close the the springs. i wouldnt really go any wider

im running 225/45-13s on 13x8s all around. they dont rub, but they do stick out the sides of the fenders. these are my autox tires too, by the way.

well I thought it was a good picture

as long as you have stock backspacing, the width of the wheels doesnt matter. i have like 4 in backspace i think and there's about 1/2 inch clearance from the springs.
