Stock size tire to bigger opinion

Hey everyone! Just wanted to see what everyone's thoughts were on my next purchase tomorrow. Im going from my stock tire size 215/70/15 to a bigger size. I have a 4 cyl 2009 reg cab and want to move up to a 235/75/15 for a better look then stock. i just want to know what you all think about this change?

 

As long as you dont go to big where you might rub somewhere. Also know going with bigger tires you speedometer will be off by a little bit and it will mess with your true mileage as well. I have 33"s on my truck and when it reads 75mph on the gauge its going more like 78 or 79mph. My mileage also reads 55K right now but its probably more around 60K if not a little more.

 

There is sooo much room in the wheel well its a shame. That's sorta the reason I want to go with a bigger tire. So it doesn't look so dorky.

 

Drop it 3 inches and tuck some 20's in there.

 

I say lift and even bigger tires haha!

 

I'm gonna have to stick with the bigger tire option right now. I'm house hunting, so cant go too crazy.

 

So going to a bigger tire size wont mess with the engine/transmission?

 

anytime you change something from stock to larger or smaller, things are affected.

Your engine and transmission will have to work harder at a stop and low speeds and less at high speeds like on the freeway.

You will also get worse gas mileage and the speedometer and odometer will be off by reading less than what you are truly doing.

It will say 65 mph and you will be doing 68-70 mpg

Your odometer will say 150 miles driven when its actually going to be more.

 

Thank you all for the info. Looks like I'm going to a bigger rubber tommorw, no pun intended
