Treadwrights came in

[93 Ohio Ranger]

It would be absolutely STUFFED with no coil spacers. But they would go. Dunno how turning would be.

How in the world would they be stuffed? Stock size is 215, and i ran 32 on my 2wd with no lift for a month, only rubbed at full lock.

The 215 doesnt really mean much. For instance...

My 215/85R16's are 30.9" tall when a 235/75R15 is only 29.1" tall. All of the numbers are a factor in the actual height and width.

Yeah, 215 is only the tread width. 215 millimeters wide.

He's running an 85 sidewall, which is 85% of the 215mm width.

Now add that to a 16" rim (yes, you'll have to do some converting)

Here is another example http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...TARWL2V2&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

it's a 215/60R14 tire, only 24.2" tall

His tire is a 215/85R16 which works out to about 30.4" tall. Which would fill out pretty well into a 2wd fender opening.

doesnt your ranger have torsion bar front suspension?? ,so coil spacers wouldn't help??

Also checked out their website & they no longer make 33x12.50/15s. Any one know of any retread maker of that size in a M/T retread?

I have 215/40ZR18's on my focus, LOL.

Those are sweet I've never those tear drops painted like that, nice work man! What are you gonna do for center caps?

 

[Musick17]

Its not brown! Damn cell phone camera and no light But its actually a metalic graphite color. Ill get some better pictures once they get on the truck.

And Im gonna get some regular chrome centers off ebay and see what they look like and decide what I wanna do from there. But honestly, I have no idea. Suggestions?

I don't see where everyone is getting this brown from? Maybe I'm missing a pic.

I actually like the rims, never would have thought that color combo would have worked.
