Help, tires!

[Supertrooper4]

Alright so i want to get bigger tires, but i cannot find the right size tire to fit without rubbing. Im stressing bc i dont want to run a 30" to 31" tire, i want atleast a 32" tire, So i want the biggest tire that wont rub. I have an 02, and i put on a 2 1/2" coil spacer lift. So please help me!!, and im game for having to put wheel spacers on if needed to fit the biggest tire.

235/85/R16 32 ish inches but narrow enough to not rub.

 

[Supertrooper4]

What size is that normally?, like a 31 bc im totally clueless on converting the sizes. haha

 

[Supertrooper4]

haha never mind i didnt see that 32 at the end.

Go with a 265/75/16. It is a 32 and won't rub.

 

[Supertrooper4]

Are you sure thats bigger then stock, bc i think im runnin a 265 now? i cant look right now and see though.

Stock is a 265/70 which is about a 31" tire. Also use the search function as there are litterally hundreds of threads on this subject as well as a Sticky at the top of the page.

you're probably running the 265/70/16's, the 265/75/16's are taller.

265/75/16 are taller then 265/70/16? How, shouldnt they be wider not taller?

 

[Pikeman]

As mentioned they are taller. How to read Metric tire sizing. This has been posted in numerous threads as well as links to tire calculators but here it goes again.

265= tread width in MM(milimeters)
70= aspect ratio of sidewall height compared to tread width in a % (this case 70% of tread width)
16= rim diameter

so a 265/75/16 would have a 5% taller sidewall height than a 265/70/16.

Link to tire calculator to prove it.
