Tires to fit a 10" wide rim?

[Insanejughead]

I've spent the last couple days searching through google and haven't come up with nearly anything that pleases me or makes sense. Most of those tire and wheel sites out there are just trying to get me to go to a 17" or 18" wheel and slap a really thin sidewall on it.


I would like to know what tires would fit well, but not bulge out alot on a 15x10" wheel? I found a 295/50/15 and I might go with it, but I'd like to have more options first. The one I found only came in one brand...

I admit I suck at searching for things like this...

For your Ranger I assume? That size you've listed equal less 27" tire which would be very small.

You probably want to end up with something about 29"-30" diameter and about 10.5"=11.5" width.

I'm putting them on a lowered ranger...


I forgot to say that I need them to be a STREET tire, but with all season tread (or something close to it, I hate directional tread.)

i managed to fit a 205-50-r15 om a 10" rim. talk about stretched
with a little lube, ether and a match, you can get almost anything to fit.

I run my rims 8" wide for the street and have 10.5" wide for the track, but I have drag radials on those and I dont think u want that.

Hmm... I'm wondering how good those Mastercrafts are?


I've always liked the Coopers. I may just go with them.

Is there any other tires that I could be missing out on?

I got a set of BFG Radial TAs on my mach1 and they are great. I got 275, 60 ,15s which should fit decent on the back of a ranger

 

[Insanejughead]

1Badexplorer, could you get me a pic of those?


I am kinda set on that size too. It's an inch and a half bigger than stock, so it would give me that nice rake stance.

Heres some pics of mine with 275/60/15 on 8" wheels. I believe you could put them on 10" without alot of trouble. Note that mine is 4wd of course.

i have 295/50/15 BFG's on a 10 inch rim on mine i will get pics tomorrow. how much have you lowered it i dont think mine will fit in the front if i lower it any.

 

[Insanejughead]

I've lowered my ranger 4/4". I know it will "fit" in the back, but I may want to raise the truck up a bit because I know it will stick out an inch or two as well as hit the metal fender part on hard bumps.


I'm looking forward to those pics!

 

[Darkhorse88]

I plan on doing a JDM 3/4 drop in the first part of next year when i do i am going to get new rims and drop down to a 8" in the front and keep a 10" in the rear. So that way i wont scrub in the front.

 

[Insanejughead]

Your backspacing looks pretty close to mine, but what is it exactly?


I know a 4" would be best, but mine are 3.25"



Btw, those look sick as hell! I also have the same tail lights. Mine are the Gunmetal/gold-ish colored ones.

 

[Darkhorse88]

i am not sure what the backspacing is on the rims they were on it when i bought it will be getting rid of them in jan or feb

 

[Insanejughead]

What brand and model are they? I can look it up from that.


Also, what rims are you going to go with if you get rid of them?
