Help choosing tires and rims
Hey All,
Almost time to take the snows off which I mounted on the stock rims. Now I need rims and tires for the summer. What should I buy? Not offroading, but will trailer the boat a little (ramp is across the road). Tire rack has AR rims and Pirelli tires that look nice. Anyone have pics off their wheels? Thanks in advance Rod 2010 4x4 |

Rims
Made in China scares me. What part of American Racing do they not get? |

255/55/17 is a little small. The rims look decent, but I'd probably go with something a little taller. Not sure what options you have on the 17's, but an example would be going 255/70 instead of 255/55. |
I would want to keep the height the same. Or at least close to it.
|
What is your stock tire size?
|
225/70/16
I'd like to go to 17's though |
Are you sure? That seems awful small for a stock tire size. Mine were 255/65/16 on my 06
|
It does sound small. I took it from the brochure as I was to lazy to go outside and check.
|
I see you are from seagrave. Is that in the US?
|
Seagrave is in Ontario (Canada lol) It's about an hour NE of Toronto on lake Scugog.
Yes we have some strange names up here. |
Oh alright reason I asked in thought maybe this was the uk ranger. Which might have explained an odd tire size
|
I never noticed your location before... I used to live in Belgrave, Ontario. I would think you'd have 235/70R16... you should double check what's on your truck.

265/70-16 measure 29inches tall
Common size at tire shops Looks good/reasonable MPG too |

^ He's wanting to put 17" wheels on though...
|
17's appear to be the way to go for summers. Really just for looks. It might help cornering a bit.
Not too many people are running 17's here? |
