Rims and tires

[Devious_Tahoe96]

Reason why I got the 15x10.5 was so that i could run more agressive tires. I like the way the tires will stand outside of the wheel wall, but i don't want to have rubbing issues.You think i might have to do any trimming of the bumper or side fender?? What if I put the 15's in the rear and run 16's in front, or vice versa???

And Big Bend sounds awesome, but no i've never been out there before, only thing is that im enlisting in the Navy so idk if i'll still be here in el paso or somewhere else. We can stay posted though, I've heard its a 4x4 jungle out there lol

As far as mixing 15s and 16s...

One, I don't think you can fit the 15s on your truck due to the caliper/drum requirements (I could be wrong due to the year though).

Two, I wouldn't recommend mixing the wheels as your overall tire diameter will be slightly different in most cases... bad for 4x4 engagement.

Three, I'd recommend getting the same size wheels front/rear for rotation/tire longevity reasons as well.

Only reason why i want 31's is cuz my friend has a 96' bronco with 33's and i need tires that'll be able to go through his ruts.[/QUOTE]


You should be able to beat your friend with any tire. I have a friend that has a bronco with a 351 and I wooped his ass at red sands when I had it stock. My hoe did better stock than the way it is right now.

I took off my 16" stock rim and swapped it with the 15" cragar and it was sitting nice and flush. I'd show you pic's but my wife has my laptop.
