Nice, never thought a 20 would be shorter than a 15!

Brad, do you still have the tires handy? If so, can you measure the total height of each of the three tires. That's a great pic, and valuable information when tire hunting! Width of each would be handy also.
Thanks, Greg.

Yep and 8 and 10" wheels. Cool link N2trux. Guess I don't need to measure those tires now.

What that means is if you take three 275/50/15 made by three different companies, they may all be different sizes. Heres a comparison between 20's and 24's. Sorry for the HUGE pic... ![]() |
