tire and wheel size question

[olred90]

hey everybody,

first off, would wheels 15x10, 5x4.5 fit a 90 ranger. if they do, would those wheels fit tires 235/75r15?

thanks

Thoses wheels would fit, although, being 10 in wide, they are probably too wide for 235/75's, as those mount regularly on a 7 in wide wheel.

And do you know the backspacing? That comes into play when considering a wide wheel too

Yea, those wheels are wide for the tires size you list. the 5x4.5 is the correct bolt pattern though. Stick with 7-8" wide rims. 10" puts a lot of leverage on the front wheel bearings and causes problems.

oh common i run 12" wide rims with 14" wide tires and i never had any problems i would say get some nice wide tires and run them pigs till something breaks then fix it!!!! thats the whole fun of wheeling and building trucks but do check the back space first lol

i had some 235/75's on some 10" wheels i picked up for my 33x14 boggers.the most rediculous shit i've seen on a b2 in a while.mostly i just wonder how much ether it took for the idiots to blow the tires onto the rims.the bead is outside the tread by an inch or more.

31's are too narrow for 10" wheels too.
