Tire size

[Ender2664]

What is the smallest tire that i can squeeze on a 9.5 inch rim? A guy is selling them and want to know if there is anyway to get my stock tire around it?

265 is the smallest you could probably 'squeeze' on, but 275s are recommended. if your stocks are 235's dont count on it

i think i am going to go to 295/35/18..switching from the 235/55/16, it only makes the speedo off by .2 percent

Not to worried about .2%...not even woried about 2%, thanks for the warning though. You can get a 295 on a 9.5??? Well those are just the frounts, the rears are 11s and i am going to be running 315s so i am not to worries about getting the frounts to wide. But 265 is smallest but i can go as big as a 255?
Is there anywhere that would have all this info listed?

I'd hop on tirerack, and check some tire sizes there. They list the recommended wheel width for each size. Choose a common tire, then choose "specs" and you should get a table listing all the sizes and tread width, diameter, wheel width, etc...

Negative. I have seen a 255/40 on a 17x9.5" rim. It wasnt too bad, but definetly not the right size. In my opinion a 285 is the right size, not a 275. [img]smile.gif[/img]
