Title: Widest Tire on stock rim?
Post by: phantomplanet89 on December 14, 2011, 05:29:45 PM

I have a 92 tracker. The 5 star aluminum kinda swirl rim. Whats the biggest and widest tire that will fit on it? Like.. would 31s fit on it? or would i need new rims?

I run 30x9.5" tires on a stock rim without issues, but 31x10.5 might be pushing it.

I would expect issues with popping the beads off rather often trying to run 31's on the stock rims.

i run 31x10.5s on the 15x5.5 steelies. tread does wrap to the sidewall, makes it nice for wheelin but yes, there is the chance of blowing the bead. 31's need more like a 7 or 8 inch wide rim.

Black Sidekick is 2" body lift and 2" coil spacers with 31's.

Red Tracker is V6 Coils and 3" body lift with 31's.

I like the Black one better, but with the Wheels/Tires from the Red one.  ;)

As for the Rims... That's just Spray Plasti-Dip! Do a youtube search. ;)
