I really like the wheels on that Stratch jeep. They look like 18".

If cragars were TPMS friendly, I would be running on them right now.

What is the bolt pattern size if I were to get Cragars? And how wide should they be to use stock tires.

If I went down to say 15 inch wheels what size tires would I need to keep the correct over all size?

I figured out I would need 15x7 with 4.5 inch bolt pattern and I found Gragar wheels for 80 dollars in that size with 3.75 back spacing but I need to figure out what size tire to mount on that still.

Thanks Miata.net

heres a good tiresize calculator!!

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

i use this everytime i want to change my tire size.

So if I did it right if I went from a stock size 235/70/16 to a 235/75/15 It would be a exact match and I wouldn't see any major problems with the speedo and mileage. The reason why I want to go to 15's is to give the appearance of more rugged looking off road tire with the larger side wall and smaller rim and also the 16 inch rim costs 50 dollars more than the 15.

 

[JeepINgeek]

what would make me worry about 15's is; will you have room between the calipers and the wheel?

 

[Vtolds]

hmm maybe someone can answer that for us?

I just got a call from my dad who works at a Jeep dealer and he got me some summer tires so I think instead of the Cragars I am going to get the MB Drift wheels.

My Question about these wheels are they say you have too buy there lug nuts because the Jeep ones wont work. I dont really see how they figure that but maybe you guys know.

 

[Vtolds]

So I guess the tires are 235/65/16 there techs said it would be fine so I guess they will be fine.

 

[JeepINgeek]

thats an awfully narrow tire... think willys...

 

[Vtolds]

The tire size calc said it was a 1/2 inch shorter than stock. I am running 235/70/16 right now. It said my speedo would be off about 1.5 mph or something like that. According to tires.com 235/65/16 is a stock liberty size, so I dont see a problem.

How they will look, except my Liberty has the flat black fenders and door trim
