Re: tire fitment help

antoher consideration is rim width. If you go with a really wide wheel, like maybe even a 12" you can get a taller tire under less lift. I had 35x12.5 on 8" and now run 36x14.5 on 10" and the truck sits the same as it did with the 35s although different tire measure diffently.


another thought is i had 32x16 eagles on my dragcar, changed to M/T 32x16.5 and the m/t are rediculously narrower although the size is bigger.

Goodyear measure across the tread and M/T measure acoss the buldge. and they are about 1.5 is shorter on the same wheel.
