HELP.... What tire sizes will fit my 1st Gen factory rims?

This is a really stupid question and you're allowed to laugh at me for this, but only after you explain to me how tire sizing works. Right now we have crappy all weather tires on the truck (P205/75R15). I've been asking around and everyone seems to have GoodYear Wrangler tires on their truck/suv. The problems with this is I cant find any in this size, the closest I can find is 215/75R15. Will these fit my factory rims or how does that work?????

Short answer: Yes the 215/75r15s will fit your stock wheels.

its a great tool to compare tire sizes

 

Thanks for the replies. What I don't get is the width thing, right now it has 205 as the width wouldn't the 215 be too wide for the rims??? What am I missing here

 

That means it is 10 mm wider than your current tire, you wont run into any trouble with that.

 

Still confused but I'll take your word for it

 

Maybe this will help, your current tire size is 205/75/15

That means the TREAD of your tire is 205 mm wide, your sidewall is 75% of that tall, and your rim is 15 inches in diameter. The difference between the 205 and the 215 is a 10mm wider TREAD, your rim is probably 8 inches wide, but since the sidewall of a tire is pretty flexible I would venture to guess you could mount a tire as wide as a 265 to it without issue.

 

Ohhhhhhhh got it, thanks
