skyeye33 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hey I want to put 33" tires on my pathy. Right now I have 255/65r16 so what would be 33" for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 255/65R16 is: 255mm (tread width) x 65% (sidewall aspect ratio) * 2 (# of sidewalls) / 25.4mm/inch + 16 (wheel diameter) = 29.05" total tire diameter A 33" tire would be more like a 285/75R16 (32.83") or a 255/85R16 (33.07") However, in order to fit a 33" tire, you generally need wheels with a different offset in order to clear the front strut and a suspension lift to minimize rubbing on the wheelwells, splash guards, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo94 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) This guy has 33x12.5R15 tyres on his R50 and has a high offset on his wheels. Edited December 19, 2012 by Leo94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 This guy has 33x12.5R15 tyres on his R50 and has a high offset on his wheels. LOL, he also did some major cutting on his fenders. I shudder to think about the massive rubbing he'll have when his rear suspension articulates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroeser01 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Yea I had these same thoughts he doesn't even have a lift and he's running 33's. I bet a he hits a pot hole and rubs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
