I just thought I would post this link to a handy page for calculating tire and wheel sizes.

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

what does everyone think of 285/50/18....will they rubb real bad? anyone with 18s speak up please.
 












[(cross section width x aspect ratio) x 2] / 25.4 + rim diameter = tire height in inches

millimeters x 0.04 = inches (tire width)

example:

[(235 x 0.75) x 2] / 25.4 + 15 = 28.9 inches

235 x 0.04 = 9.4 inches

So, the tire size 235/75R15 is 28.9x9.4 inches

Hope that Helps!
 






www.4lo.com also has a tire calculator... and other useful 4x4 calculators and tidbits also
