Those tires should fit on a 15x8 rim.

As for how much life you would need, im sorry to say that im not a kick owner so im not sure. But this question is posted at least once every 2 weeks on this bored.

If you dont feel like searching it out, im sure someone will tell you very shortly.

29x9.5-15 are almost identical to 235/75-15s.  And thats what i used to run with no lift.  8 in wide rims will work if they have enough backspacing so your tires dont rub on the frame at full lock

I run 235's with no lift and no rubbing on 15x8 wheels. How much backspacing though I honestly cannot tell you because they were on my Tracker when i got it. They stick out about an inch or two thats all i know lol

sorry for the repete of question on the message board but thaanks guys, also i was thinking about some 2 inch coil spacers, i didn't realize how cheap they were, do you think with the coil spacers i would need to change out my stock shocks?  also could i possibly clear a 31 inch tire maby 31X10.5 with that set up?  i'm on a budget, i got money for tires from my dad but the rest is on my own, and cash is a little tight

Im pretty sure you will need longer shocks and also struts to

You can do a Strut Mount Flip to cover the struts on the front end, but Trackin92 is right about the shocks in the rear.  Of course, you could just cut reweld the bottom half of the rear shock mounts.  This would also lift them up and remove the temptation to snag the bottom part on rocks.

After putting longer shocks on mine I decided the next Tracker I do a coil lift on is just going to have the mounts rebuilt instead of longer travel shocks.  :P

what brand of rims are on the yellow tracker?

for rear shocks, you can take some measuments when flexed to determine the extended & travel you need, go to a good parts store and you can search a book to find an appropriate shock.

I also think if ya search here, someone has posted up a monroe part number (it's what I got and were about $25 a pair if I recall). I ended up needing limit straps too tho.

Ultra wheels and Peerless tires. My tires are getting pretty worn out so when winter comes around I will probably get new ones. Im wanting to get some good ones for offroading. Anybody know of a good set in 235's? I just run street tires right now.
