22s on mountaineer

I have a 98 mountaineer. I found a pair of rims for sale on craigslist. They are 22" rims. I know the rims will fit. They previously came off of a navigator. The tire size is 305 40 22. I think those may be too big. I do need to get two new tires for the rims. Anyone know if that size tire will fit with no rubbing or minor trimming? Or can I get two smaller ktires for the front and keep the larger ones for the back? Thanks

Those will not fit...

Regarding the tire size, though, those are basically a 32x12 which might require a very small lift.

They also are universal

They aren't the same bolt pattern

The rims are universal. But idk if they are too wide.

Well I found a different set. They are 235 55 20. Are those too small?

That's a 30x9.5 so they should fit without a problem. That's the same width as your stock tires, just about 1" taller.

Thanks for the input. Or I can get 275/55/20 which is probably to tall right?

That's about a 32x9.5 so you might need a tiny lift.

Well I decided to wait now. I blew a brake line. Also now need front brakes shocks and a control arm

Also the only way you can run 2 different size tires is if your monty is 2wd. What drive train does your monty have?

 

[chetrick87]

Its all wheel drive. I'm not going to run two different sizes when I get a set.
