What size tires? Urban Runner

[hawks02]

I just got an Urban Runner a few days ago and I am wondering what size wheels/tires I can put on it. I will probably stick with 18" wheels, thats what came on it, but I want a slightly aggressive cool looking tire. . . possibly the Cooper Zeon LTZs. I am not going to lift the rig at all either. Any insight would be great.

Do you want a full wheel well or do you like wide tires?

Wider tires.

i went down to 17 inch rism and installed 265 70 r 17 nitto terra grapplers and it looks awesome. i have a black urb and the rims i got were black. it is cheaper to sell your rims and tires for 100 bucks each and get 17s than it is to but nitto tgs in an 18 inch rim. 1350 vs just 1200 for 18's. just my opinion

265/65/18 will work fine and give you a slightly more aggressive look. It's a common size. A less common size is 275/60/18. That size is a bit wider and should work fine with little or modification. You may have very minor upper control arm rubbing with the wheel cut all of the way like when doing a u-turn. The mod I'm talking about is at the bottom of this page: http://www.top4runners.com/ja/2007/wheelspacers.html

The final choice would be a 255/70/18. That would be my choice. Look at paraordance pictures. He has this size but the 17" version on a non-lifted Runner. IMHO it looks great. Click on the tire link in my sig and look for his rig in that thread.
