What is my rim size???

[Jake's Dad]

..I have a '97 XLT 5.0.

Haven't a clue what rim size I have but I'll guess 15x7????

Thanks -

look on the tire. It prob says 255/70 XX find out what the x's are

 

[Lifted95X]

Yup...what Chucky said. If it says 255/70 R15...then it is a 15x7.

 

[Jake's Dad]

Yup, they are 15x7's then.

Did other '97 XLT owners get the 15x7's when they got it new?

Reason Im asking is because I got this truck from a used car lot and I wonder if they replaced the rims. Were the original rims shipped with the truck 16x7's (?).

15x7 is very a possible size to have from a factory X.
So most likely Yes, there are many others that have the same size.

 

[Jake's Dad]

Ok, cool - thanks!

 

[ChuckyD]

No problem, what are you looking to do... get some 31's ?

 

[Jake's Dad]

Hey ChuckeyD:

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by "31's". I was just looking to replace my stock rims with the same size, but an after market manufacturer. I am looking at Sendel, they make a model called "type 10". Then I would put on Goodyear 30x950 R15 GSA's.

[ChuckyD]

31's meaning 31x1050 r15
next size tire up from what you want to get there.
Cool, take some pictures after you get your new rims and tires!
Good Luck

 

[Jake's Dad]

I see. Do 31's fit in the stock wheel well???

they do on mine, but im not 100 percent sure on yout style X. Do a search, it should come up. I think it may with some MINOR plastic trimming.
