Ok,

 

Sorry to bother everyone with this, but have a quick question....Looking into getting some new/used tires to get by for now...Saving money. I can get a set of 4 tires & 6 bolt wheels for $400.00

 

The tires are BF MT's 245 70R 17's. I put that size in a conversion chart & it came out to be equivilant to 30.5" or I'm guessing they round up to 31"? Correct me if I'm wrong. Would these fit as if we were putting on 31's? Either putting them on my lifted Pathy or the wife's Xterra. The X is not lifted yet.

 

Thanks for all your help & info!

Manufactures vary slightly and then considering wear they could be between 31" and 30", either will fit fine. The bigger question is the back spacing of the 17" rims and if that will interfere with anything. That I have no answer for... :shrug:

Oh believe me! Do I know about backspacing.....

 

Went to swap the aftermarket rims & new tires I just got for my Pathy & put them on my wife's X. Barely turn the wheels & they r rubbing. Wouldn't be bad if the X was lifted. Tires are 31x10.5x15's, but the backspacing is less. Oh well. Time to do some more looking.

Back Spacing should be between 4" and 3.5" Wheel with should be 7" 8" Anything wider than that and you're going to have to do some trimming. Hell you might have to do a little trimming with 31" tires on 8" wide wheels with a 3.5" back spacing. Nothing major though. I believe the stock rear spacing is 4" on 7" wide lego wheels.
