tekazgtr1984 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Does anyone think it would be possible to fit 265x75x16 on 16x8 Ultra Rims on an 01 LE w/ no lift? Would 275/70/16 fit? Or would it be best to just stick to the 265/70/16's? I would say not possible but from what alexrex posted about his set-up it's definitely possible. I'm rolling on 32x10.5 (265/75R16) tires but I've got the AC lift coils. Check with Alex just to be sure but I bet it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexrex20 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 they fit on mine, but i don't think they'll clear the stock front bumper. also, 32s on stock wheels probably won't clear the struts unless you're using a super-skinny tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

180sx Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Year: 1996 Pathfinder SElift : Stock/ no lift Wheels : Stock/ 15x8 Tires : BFG A/T 31x10.5 Notes: doesn't rub or anything. Update: just swapped my BFG for Goodyear AT/S tires. Same size: 31x10.50-15. Tires are not new, but I got all 4 for $120. I'd say they got a year left on them. I noticed that these, even though they are worn pretty good, have about 1/4" less clearance then my BFG's did. They still don't rub, so far, but it's something to note on, I guess. Also, when I measured my friends tires, they were all different. these are all new. He had a 33" that measured 31.5" some 35" that measured 34" and 33.5" a 38" that measured 36" and a 44" that measured 42" These are all different brands, by the way. When I talked to some tire shop guys, they all said that no tire comes the same size from different manufacturers. Weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit22re Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 i dont see many people with wheels like mine. whats the biggest tire i can fit on these? stock suspension no lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 well, considering stock is 235/75-R15 I would say stay around that size. I don't know the BS of that rim, or how wide it is (I assume 15x6) so I would say get a 245/75-R15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcstay10 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 hey, i have a 2002 pathy se 4x4. pretty much stock. iv started to do some off roading with a couple of friends who have jeeps. they give me @!*% about driving a pathy, but i still hang with em. i don't have the funds for a lift or anything, but i want some new rubber so i can smoke em. iv been doing my reasurch, and it looks like the BFG A/T tires look perfect for me. but, will they fit on my stock rims? i have the 16 inch 6 spoke and what size should i look for that will fit my truck. i still want to drive highway and around town/parking lots with it so i wanna make sure it fits. im not quite sure how to post photos on NPORA yet, but i have a pic here. http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2212835/ please let me know, all help is appreciated.

tekazgtr1984 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 BFG must make A/T tires in the same dimensions as your R50s stock meats. Don't quote me on that, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're willing to check out other brands, Toyo's worth a look for sure. I've got the Open Country A/Ts on my '98 and they are absolutely wonderful.

For some reason, it basically only really shows stock sizes or factory option sizes. For cars, they'll show you more options. I don't know the measurements of your wheel, but I'm sure non-stock tire sizes will fit. So, for example, if yours came with 255/65/16, 245/70/16 will fit. I made those numbers up, but you get the idea. So long as you stay approximately within the overall diameter of your stock tire + wheel and don't get something much wider than the factory tires, you should be fine. You can calculate overall diameter in inches, you can use the following formula: ((Tire width/25.4)*(Aspect ratio aka the 2nd number on your tire in the 255/65/16 formula/100))/2 + Rim diameter. I would bet something BFG/Goodyear would fit your stock wheels. Next time your Jeep friends laugh, congratulate them on their brilliant foresight. Having 2 Jeeps means they can use one for spare parts when stuff begins falling off the other "car". They can also get bulk discounts when parts begin falling off both "cars". I hear Staples gives 10% off cartons of paper clips and glue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just a new guy asking a simple, quick question because he may not know the thread structure (though I agree it's kinda weird since it says he's been a member since July but has only 2 posts) and we're throwing suggestions out there. I'd rather give a suggestion and THEN point him to the right thread than say,"Hey schmuck, you're in the wrong section." Dunno about all the light zip tie stuff. That said, I now have KYB front struts, which actually aligned easier than the Ranchos. Weird... Ride is better too. So, now I'm at Year: 2003 LE Springs: AC 2" Front: KYB GR-2 Rear: Bilsteins Tires: 235/85-16 Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar, which have ridiculously aggressive treads. Not swampers but much higher and knobbier than the BFG A/Ts I had. 1 camber bolt each side. Used to rub till I trimmed bumper about 1/4" and cut front fenders in half. No rubbing now.

Fukinitupagain Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 does anybody think 15x10 wheels with 3" BS would work? Or would that just be way too wide? I havne't seen anyone with wider than 8" wheels, so yea... Yeah you can do that but you will have to do some trimming of the fender & part of the front bumper (especially at stock height) but unless you have like a 12.50 wide tires then you wouldn't want to go with that wide of a rim. I've seen a 32x11.50 tire on a 15x10 rim but I wouldn't recommend it (just because the tire shop says it can be done doesn't mean that it should be done).
