Confused on the lift/tire size sticky

[Bangin01Sport]

The sizes are something new to me -- 31x10.5x15???

I assume that is in centimeters or something, I just don't know. I'm used to tire sizes being 2**x**x**

Since I've thrown that out, let me also ask, will 245/35/20 fit just fine on a stock height 01 sport??

Would it look better to go with a different size tire? Any recommendations?? I'm going for a sport look, probably going to drop it around 2 - 3".

Haven't decided on which rims to go with either, opinions??

Thanks!

31x10.5x15

31= Height
10.5= Width of tread
15= Wheel it fits on


Also, I like the first rims better.

31x10.50x15 is all inches.

31 inches high, 10.5" wide, on a 15" wheel.


235/75/15 is different

It's 235mm wide, with a sidewall 75% of the width, on a 15" wheel.

Ohh okay, well thanks.

Any comments on what size tire I should go with?? 20" Rims and not going to be doing any off roading, nor am I trying to get the off roading look.

if your going with 20's and a 'sport' look then I would get some run-flats, and ditch your spare.

Is that sarcasm I taste??

Don't know if I was using the right terms, just imagine an 01ex sport on 20s w/ about a 2" drop. That is the look I am going for. Wondering what size tire I should use.

No, I'm just saying your gonna wanna go with a low profile tire, so why not use run-flats and ditch your spare to improve gas milage?

As for sizes, It depends how wide your wheels will be. I would go with a 10.5.

yea i heard about them on pimp my ride... how much those tires go for.. ballpark figures i guess ...?

they arent cheap, but if you have the money I'm sure in the long run they will pay for themselves (to a certain extent).

I ahvent looked, but they are probly more than 200 a piece
