Hey Ga.Cubby!!!! How's it going good buddy!!!!

Will to begin with, installing a 10.50 inch wide tire on a 7 inch wheel might work, but one thing you will notice is that the tire will "Balloon up" due to not having enough width on the wheel for the tire to stretch to the sides. I would recommend a pair of 8.50 wheels or even a 10.50 wheel. The 10.50 wheels are little hard to find but I know a guy who might have them. Let me know if you're interested and I'll get in contact with him. As for the clearance. That will depend where the wheel hub is placed on your 7 inch wheels. If the wheel hub is placed on the Heavy Off Set side, then there shouldn't be any problem. But if it's placed at a Zero Off Set or meaning right in the center of the wheel, then there might be a little problem there. Hope this helps??? Take care good buddy!!!!:ThumbsUp:

Here's a pic of my wheel. The wheel hub is placed on the Heavy Offset Side.
