I posted in the tire section because it is tire related. Feel free to move it if I got it wrong again.
So, I want to move up in tire size eventually. I was thinking about 235x85x16's (aprox. 32x9.5). I am currently running 31x10.5x15's. I know it isn't much of an increase, but I am feeling out my options right now.
To run this tire I would need a 16" rim that is 6-7" wide. Any "camaro guys" out there know if there is a steel wheel out there in this size? I would run aluminium again but steel would be cool.
16" rims

Re: 16" rims
I didn't want to start a new thread for my simple question. So I'm just asking it here. I looked for the answer to my question but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.
What is generally lighter? A 15" diameter steel wheel with a 35x12.5 tire, or a 16" diameter steel wheel with a 315/75 tire?

Re: 16" rims
My guess is that the 315/75-16 will be a few pounds heavier.
