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

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?

ranger rod 03-06-2011 11:00 AM

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?

ranger rod 03-06-2011 03:40 PM

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

235/70/R16 is actually 29.0" tall
265/70/R16 is really 30.6" tall

^ He's wanting to put 17" wheels on though...

ranger rod 03-09-2011 05:54 PM

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?
