Wondering. Cause I was gonna get 18s on mine and i just looked and mine are 16s and 18s would be like nothing. So I think I'm gonna have to get 20s to have em look good... theyre like 25in tires or something

I have 245/35/20's on a 4-5 drop and they rub on hard bumps (I had to remove somethings and they still rub)

When I first set the truck down it was sitting on the plastic inner fender!

just wore off a set of 275/60/15s(28"x10.5")
and ordering a new set for next year (either 295/65/15 or 305/50/15).

i know my truck's not lowered at the moment. i flipped the hangers in the rear and the truck looked great but it bounced all over the place so i flipped them back to stock for now.
i plan on bringing the rear down somehow and then taking an inch or so off the front to match.

I'm running 225/40/18 in the front with a 5/5 and i rub on hard bumps...i haven't taken out the plastic inner fender yet.

255/30/20 is the lowest profile tire for a 20 they make its also .2 inches lower profile than nittos new 225/35/20 and will also fit a 20 better since all 20's are at least 8 inches wide, just something to consider

32's. lol

i'm bagged on 18's with 40 series' rubber i took the rubber inner's out and i haven't had any problem's

255/35/20, and it sits on the ground pretty good. You will have problems with the firewall on the driver side, I have 95 and I am on beams.

Also you have to cut and lose a couple things:afro:


peace :smoke:

275/60/15 on front and 31/9.5/15 on back doesnt rub on anything, plans call for the 31's to go up front and a set of 32 or 33's for the back soon as the 275's wear out.

235/40 18's
They rub on hard bumps with a 5/7 and they are only 24 1/2" tall

Who makes a 255/30/20?

what do the numbers in the #/#/# represent? i was just talking about diameter of the tires haha. Like go outside with a measuring tape and see how big they are.

here ya go, Use this conversion chart (http://www.geocities.com/askenoch/tiresize.html)

ok so i guess im 235/50/16 according to that chart

well thats new tire.... stock says 195/60/16 but its the same thing it shows?

Those numbers are all related. The first is width in millimeters, the second is height of the sidewall expressed as a percentage of the width and the third is the size of the wheel in inches. With those three numbers you can calculate diameter with a calculator if you don't have a computer handy.

245/45/17 on 17x8 wheels.

225/45/17.....exactly 25 inches in diameter

225/40R18 on 18x8's with no problems. No inner fenders, either.

can some body please give me some back spacing advice for a gen I So that I can tuck 18s I don't want to buy rims and get the wrong ones. I was thinking like 18x7 or 18x8s

You will need at least a +35 offset to tuck and turn some with 18s. I bolted up some 20 x 8.5s on my truck when I had them and they would only fit when the wheels were pointed straight ahead.

225/40/ZR18's on 18x7's front and 275/35/ZR18's on 18x8's rear. Had planned on moving the 8's to the front and using 9.5's in the rear but trying to finish one of my other three projects first.

GroundZero: tuck and sit or tuck and drive?

i have 205/50/16's on my truck. i have a bagged 91 mazda.
no problems. can some one give me some help on what size 17 or 18 i will need for it to tuck. how much back spacing and all that good stuff. i know tires will be 215/40/17's or a 215/45/17 - 225/35/18's. what size rims will i need though. i want 17's or 18's nothing bigger.

nitto I beleive and theres one other manf that has I i forget the name off the top of my head

How much backspacing for a 20x8 for a 95 ranger?

ok For any one with a 1983-1992 eariler today I spent about 3 hours calling wheel manufactures to find out what will and wont fit if You have a airbag Suspension. Depending on How Low Your Ranger Is going To Sit. Out of 6 manufactures They All Agreed that a 17x7 or a 18x7 With a BackSpacing of 4 1/2" Will Work with out Hitting The Fender Lip When Tucking. Recomended Tire Size 225 45 17. Now The One Place I found that I perticuallry Liked Was Centerline. If ya need any info on your Truck Call Their (800) EXT 4 number and ask to speak to RON. He was the most helpfull Now The Manufactures also said that a 8" wide Rim can be used But Most Didn't Recomend it.

if you are just bagged you should be able to run a 8 inch wide rim no prob on a gen I or II
