    5 lug? Search black box and 5 lug tire size in the search bar you’ll have plenty of answers.

    29” tire should fit, tricky part will be choosing wheels that fit.

    I’ve never had a 5 lug but I understand that 235/75-15 will fit your 15 in wheels.

    Round tires

    225/25.4 = 8.86 * .75 = 6.64 * 2 = 13.29 + 16 = 29.29


    225/75-16 = 29” tall (9” wide) tire which will fit.

    If you’ve confirmed the 16 wheel will fit, know the width of that wheel, and look up the exact tire you’re buying the specs of that tire will tell you the height, width, and recommended wheel width.


    So yes?

    These are 16" Highlander wheels with 235/70R16 tires - no clearance problems.
    Don't know if you can go bigger.

    I would guess the 1/6th of an inch more sidewall wouldn’t cause rubbing ha should fit :)

    The speedometer reads about 5 mph lower at highway speeds than actual.
    I keep that in mind if I'm worried about speeding tickets.
    Also, your odometer will rack up less miles than actually traveled.
    Mine is also a 4 cylinder with automatic and I never noticed much difference in performance.

    This website is a lifesaver. Across the top of the page there are choices for Tire Size Calculator, Tire Size Comparison, etc. The "other" drop down has an option for wheels.
