Wide tires on factory rims
« on: July 20, 2004, 04:06:53 PM »
My 92 Tracker has the factory sawblade type rims on it, I am wondering, what is the widest tire I can go on it? There is no lift on my Tracker, I am just wanting a meatier look to it.

There was a topic on this a few days ago ;)

That topic established that 9.50's were probably the widest one should go...

I missed it I guess. If I were to go with a different rim, where and what should I look for? Junkyard? Or go new?

$200-$300 for all 4. They don't have to be chrome or anything. What factory wheels bolt pattern convert over? S-10s?

I take from your name that you've got a Tracker.

In that case, older F-150 and Bronco wheels will work.

Anything that is 5.5" x 5 lugs and a 4" center hole (or something like that) will work.

Center needs to be 4-1/4" or 105 mm

FWIW I stuffed 31-10.5 tires on stock rims,
but I had some lift too, before I lifted the truck
I used to get 235 tires and thought I could get
the 30-9.5s to fit without too much trouble

If you want to go wide, you can pick up 16x8 rims starting around $130... and used for around $75.  ::) (They aren't cheap, eh?) 'Kicks on 16 or 17" rims w/ rubber band tires look unique.

I like to check prices on http://www.tirerack.com, because many local tire stores will match their pricing.
