Can I do this?

[96fordman03]

Thinking about swapping the 235/75/15 tires and rims on my '98 Mazda B4000 4x4 Extended Cab, for 205/65/15 tires n rims.
Can that be done?
Thanx

You can... but the gear ratio will likely be off a bit.

You could but why would you want smaller tires? Especially on a 4x4

Yes you can
It will make the truck quicker from a stop but ride in a higher rpm on the highway

Thanx for your reply. Taking into consideration of yours and superj's comment...... Decided not to switch to smaller tires.

Welcome to TheRangerStation.
I'm just a novice around here.

If you had someone give you some rims and tires and you've now decided not to put them on your truck you have a few choices for what to do with them.

I'm sure you already know this but:

You can pay it forward and bless someone else with them,
You can give them back to the person that gave them to you and tell them you decided not to use them,
You can sell them and make a couple dollars
or
You can start building another truck as them as you're starting point.

What ever you decide to do I hope you have some fun with your truck, enjoy TheRangerStation and get a lot out of all the membership here.
