I have this tire on my F350 on 16X10" rims. Michelin advises 9" wide rims, I didn't try my 7" Ford rims. 11.00R16s were a bit wide for the 7"s. I run my 11.00s on stock M37 rims now. If I were running 325s as opposed to 11.00s on a M37 right now, I'd get 8-10" wide rims made if I had some $$ to spend on it. They are the same diameter as 11.00s, just 2" wider. I think the XL tread is the most aggressive, the 325s will last longer on pavement than the XLs, there is more rubber in terms of a wider tread and also a bit tighter tread.
