7.50? Wow, I didn't know you could go that big on a 3.5" wheel.

Yes, but there are cheaper alternatives just so you are aware.

I run 26x7.5 M/T Sportsmans just like the guy with the silver Camaro above.

I wouldnt call them wide... the tire just has more of a rounded tread pattern. Minimum recommended width is 3.5

I got them for free but that was my concern at first. However they are not nearly as bad as you would think. If you look up pics they look almost as skinny as anything else.

I can get the 8 ply for $128 each shipped off of ebay, does that sound like a good price?

What will these tires be used for, driving around on the street or just drag racing? That will determine what kind of tire you need.
