View Full Version : Will this tire size fit? hksfd3s 09-01-2003, 03:46 AM Just curious if this tire size will work on a stock 97 Explorer 255/65-15 section525 09-01-2003, 06:11 AM That is a 28.1" tire. About what stock is. Are you sure its not a 16" wheel? Either way, you can safely clear up to a 30" tire with no lift or no trimming. hksfd3s 09-01-2003, 07:16 AM I was just curios if it would fit. Wanted to make sure on the stock rims that it wasn't too wide or cause any problems. I found that tire size on the E2 site. Just wondering if anyone has tried that size yet. Alec 09-01-2003, 07:50 AM I don't think that will fit on a stock 15x7" rim, it's too wide. X~FACTOR 09-01-2003, 07:50 PM Yes it will. I have 265/70 - 15 on 15 x 7 wheel on mine. No rubbing and great at absorbing city pot holes :) . explr1 09-02-2003, 11:31 PM Will 255/70R15 fit on 15X7's? X~FACTOR 09-03-2003, 07:48 AM Originally posted by explr1 Will 255/70R15 fit on 15X7's? Dude! 265/70-15 would fit! Yours is a size smaller. You know what... looking at the tire clearance that I have, I think you could even fit a 275/70-15 under there. Alec 09-03-2003, 08:53 AM Remember, it's not just a clearance issue, it's if the tire's sidewall can flex enough to accomodate the narrow 7" stock rim. Various tire manufacturers including BFG have rim size recommendations on their websites. |
