16 wheels to 15 inch?

redyakfly · Dec 2, 2011

I have a 2" bb on daily driver and looking to get some new wheels. Going from 16in to 15in. I have 245/75/16 tires on now. So doing the math these are 30.5 inch. I will be rplacing the stock wheel with 15 in with 3.75 BS. Should I go 30/9.50/15 or 31/10.5/15 tires?

31 AT's will should fit.

That backspacing is going to make you pretty wide, so your steering should be all good with 31s, but you might flex up into your fenders offroad.

Also, I recommend these tires: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fi...=true&cf=false&rd=15&sw=false&rc=UTSINT&cs=31

My girlfriend just bought a set of these and they kick butt for DD / Snow / Light offroading duties! Plus $135 a tire is pretty darn good! :thumbup:

3.55's or 4.10's? I personally disliked how 31s and 3.55s were. But, there is not much price difference on most between the sizes. So 30 or 31 will be fine.

At 2" of lift, 30's won't rub, 31's probably will rub, especially with 3.75" of back spacing.

x2. I run 30's on stock wheels with 1.5" spacers and rub a bit on the rear when loaded down with people.

I'd say go for the 30's, rubbing sucks on a dd and it might not be noticeable but mileage

Anyone have pics of the 30's on 15's
