Bigger Tire on Original 15x5.5 wheel
« on: October 07, 2007, 05:31:15 AM »
Hey guys, I have a pretty good set of 235/75 R15's, Uniroyal Liberator A/T, cheap, but damn good tires btw! I have em on a set of 15x7 chrome wheels. I'm gonna be getting the General Grabber AT2's in a few months or so, 31's, and I was wondering will my 235's fit on the original 15x5.5 wheel or are they to wide, I looked it up on tirerack.com and it said that size can't fit on anything smaller than a 6" rim. Is that true, or can I fit them on the 5.5"? They're really good tires and I don't just want to get rid of them.

I ran 235 on stocks the only proplem I noticed was the centers wear faster, but if you run lower tyre pressure it helps

I ran 235/75's on my stock rims for almost a year, no problems whatsoever. It only rubbed the driver's side framerail on extreme left hand turns..but only enough to scrape the paint off, nothing serious.

I have run the 31x9.50 swampers on the stock wheels and it worked good.  They did rub the springs at full lock turning.  HTH ;D

Cool thanks ya'll. when I get the 31" General Grabbers, I'm gonna go ahead and put my 235's on the stock wheels, just don't want to get rid of them. Thanks for the info.

i used to run 235/75 on my stock rims no problem. can air down really low without losing a bead. just lower your air pressure to avoid wearing out the center of the tread
