Advice needed
I have come across a good deal locally for some mag wheels and tires. Only question is this. They are different sizes. 2 are 33x12.5x16.5 and 2 are 31x10.5x16.5. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks Tom

Dont know, your talking about a 2'' height difference. Unless they are a really great deal, I would shy away. JMO of course.

What are you putting them on?If the wheels are the same,and tires are good,you would only need to find 2 tires to make a set of matching tires.Then you can sell the other 2.Course this depends on the price.

I hear those 16.5" wheels are pretty pricey when you go to shop for tires. I also hear there isn't much of a selection either.

in street tires, the 16.5s are getting far and few, as will the money in your wallet after buying them, however, it has been brought to my attention that the off road tires are plentifull, and even cheap in the 16.5 designation.
Go figure. |
