Tire size

[FLApathy]

YES I TRIED SEARCH, and im sure somebody will find it with search and im sure i will hear about it but here it goes...

 

 

 

i have the stock lego 15x7 rims on my truck and i want to put 32x11.50 tires on there, is it possible and can i air down and all that stuff and also, i have a 94, it came with the fender flares, nerf bars, rear drums and an lsd, so i think its an SE, so i would have 15x7 rims correct

 

 

 

and yes a 3" bl or sl will be in order

yeah i think 15x7 would be fine i got 31x11.5x15 on 15x7 and they work great.

as far as model if your pathy has the headrest that have the hole in them its a se and if its a lego wheel its 15x7

 

do you plan on lifting or cuting away the body?

I would concur...my '95 SE came stock with 15x7 wheels and ran 31x10.5" tires, according to the sticker on the drivers side door. The body differences between the '94 and '95 were minimal.

 

I do know that some Pathys rub a little on the wheel well when running these oversize tires. When I was buying my 'Finder, I drove a '94 with 31x10.5" tires and it rubbed only slightly when 4x4 was engaged and the wheels were turned to their extremes. The rubbing was very minimal and didn't affect driveability...and I experience the same on my '95.

Justin,

 

Are you planning on lifting at all?

 

32s do fit stock, I've seen it done, although, they WILL rub, and rub a lot. You'll have no problems with having a 32x11.50 on your 15x7" rim. You'll be able to air down and all that. In fact, the narrower wheel will keep some residual tension on the bead from the sidewall pulling out on the tire and make it harder to blow a bead. The only problems you might have is finding a place to mount the tires on your wheels, but you could always do it at your dad's work.

Also, For anyone wondering about Wheel Sizes and how to find out the Size of your rim, It's stamped on the actual Rim. For most Stock Rims at any rate.

Measuring tape works, too. :idea:

Justin, for some reason I remember you having the 6 spoke chromies, is that correct? If so, they are 15x6s. While you could fit an 11.5" wide tire on that rim, it might be hard to do.

I read somewhere, and no, i refuse to look right now, that 88 said anything wider than a stock 31x10.5x15 tire.. the rim should be upgraded to a 15x8??? I think it was 88 who said that....

anyhoo.. i run 31x10.5x15 on 15x8 rims.... looks good IMOO.....

please do chime in if I stand to be corrected

10.5x31" tires fit on chromies (6" rims) so you could put 11.5x32 on leggos (7"). You will rub with 32" tires as V states without different backspacing, a body lift, or maybe some suspension lift. It is really worth the extra cost for .5" of ground clearance ? Up to you and your wallet...
