Wheel and Tire Suggestions?

[Earthdog]

I am thinking about new Tires and Wheels for my 4X2 LE. I currently have the stock 18's.

I after more HEIGHT and the same width so as not to worsen the milage. Any thoughts?

Also while I was at it I was wondering if the Brake Dust Covers actually offer any help on the dust issue?

TIA

I am also considering wider tires and bigger wheels. I have done a lot of research on what actual sizes (i.e. wheel/tire combo) will closely match the stock wheel/tire combo on my LE (265/70/R18).


305/55/R20 with Nitto Terragrappler will be great and is faster than stock by about 3mph - Current stock speedometer will read higher. - It will be about 0.6 inches taller than stock

305/45/R22 - will be about 1mph faster than stock and 0.2 inches taller

285/65/R18 with BFG AT will be about 0.07 mph slower and just about the same height

325/65/R18 is prety good as well - about 7mph faster and 2inches taller (might need 2.5" lifts on a RWD)

There are several tire size calculators out there and also wheel matching

don't forget if you go taller you are going to lose some performance, if you go really tall you should seriously consider stepping up to a higher rear gear ratio.

hey le TITAN, if its not too much trouble could you downsize your sig a bit. most of us have been using no bigger than 400-500 pix. some of the other members dont have broadband and it really takes a long time for them to load. thanks in advance, and nice truck.

Hey goathead not a problem. I think the dial up should handle this pretty well. Its only 16KB
