I'm thinking about changing my 1994 PU's wheels from 14" to 15" or maybe
Is this feasible? Will the tires run against the wheel wells? I know the speedo and odo will change but that's not a problem.
Thanks
Changing wheels to 16" will require new tires. Its the TIRE size that will change your clearance, not wheel size. What size TIRES do you have currently?
Yes, I know that increasing the wheel size will require new TIRES. Current TIRES are 215/75R14s. Increasing the radius of a wheel should raise the truck by the radius increase. Isn't that so?
How do I put 16" tires on 14" wheels?
I have a set of 4 15x7 allow wheels that will fit it -- 5 lug. One needs minor aluminum welding on back side for about
3/4 inch. They are a star burst pattern from a 96 Camry XLE gold edition. They need polishing or painting - I stripped off gold between spokes and started to polish them. All 4 for $50 plus shipping from No VA. contact off NG at snipped-for-privacy@cox.net - remove x at beginning and end of acct. "
OK now you have me confused. 16" tires?? You need to do one of two things:
A: Buy a tire that fits a 14" wheel that is bigger (i.e. a 215/85R14 or 31" x10.50 x 14")
B: Get new wheels AND tires (I recommend 31" x10.50 x15" tires on 15" wheels)
Does that help any?
