check with Kal Tire - but you won't find 7.50s, have to use 8.25s [they fit OK on my 46 1.5T], unless you want to have some spendy ones shipped from Denman Tire

8.25 are very easy find, got mine in 2days but the 7.50 i was told would be a little harder to get.I'm in BC, they might be easier to get in US

If they will fit I would use the 8.25s they are much easier to find and will give you a little more road speed.

Some of those old 7.50 rims were only 5" wide, like the originals on my 48. I had to find new wheels that were 6" wide to get 8.25's on my truck. Maybe the 8.25's that I bought were just a heavier ply tire, who knows?
