    I think some of you are confused on tire size.

    On a LT265/75R16, the LT means light truck, the 265 is the width of the tire across the tread in MM, the 75 is the aspect ratio for the sidewall size vs. the width. You know when someone talks about "50 series tires" on their car? That means that the tire is a lower profile tire. R means it is a radial tire, and the 16 means a 16" rim.

    My 2001 came with a tire that works out to be a 31" tire. I went with the TOYO tires in 32" and had a little rub on the arm and a little on the frame. for 33" tires, you need a lift.

    everything will depend on which brand and style tire you go with too

    each manufacturer may have a stamped size of 265/70/16 but it may have an actual size of a bit larger than what the tire calculators work that out to be

    oh, and how could i get 32x11.5x15 wheels to fit on stock suspension?

    measured (from cooper) is 31.76 x 11.4....would i have to get some wheels with like a 3.5" bs? or would even something sticking out that far still rub due to the tires being 11.4 in wide?

    33s on stock suspension?

    I figure switching to 31s would cost me ~$1000 (5x tires, 5x wheels) About $100 more for 32s.

    i could maybe sell my current wheels & tires for around $300 maybe.


    probably wont happen anytime soon haha.
