31 x 11.5 Tires

[Guest fefe2004]

Hi to all, should 31 x 11.50 (yes not 10.50) tires fit into a 1996 SE Pathfinder?

Thanks,

Fernando

I have 31x10.50 bfgs stock.... They rub when turned all the way... I'd say lift it or do some major trimming. BTW what tire is that?

[Guest fefe2004]

They are Goodyear Wranglers AT. I bought a used pickup and it came with these tires. I didn't kown that size existed. At present they are in my dad's 1995 Pathfidner, no rubbing at all. I'll have to try in my 1996 to see how it goes.

i know on my 1997 they wont fit using the stock rims due to the lower spring perch on the strut getting in the way....

i just put some wildcountry txr 31x10.50 on my 96 xe and they rub pretty bad in the front when turned...

Does anyone know the size calculations for tired like 235/75/15 etc... There was an old post with it tellin how to find the size in inches but i cant find it? (Bad Memory)

yep. We'll work with your example, 235/75R15

 

the first number, 235, is the tire's width in mm. There are 25.4 mm in one inch. So, 235 / 25.4 = 9.25 inches in width.

 

The second number is the aspect ratio (ratio of sidewall height to width). In this case, the sidewall is 75% as tall as the tire is wide. So, 235 x .75 = 176.25 Multiply this by two (since there is a sidewall on either side of the rim). 176.25 x 2 = 352.5 mm total sidewall height

 

Then figure out the rim's diameter in mm. 15 x 25.4 = 381 mm

 

381 + 352.5 = 733.5 mm is the total tire height

 

733.5 / 25.4 = 28.88 inches in total tire height

Thanks Big Johnson! Much appreciation. And very nice Pathfinder :bow:

Here is a graph for a quick refrence on figuring tire width & diameter. Seems to cover most sizes.

31s should fit but as said before they may rub a little.
