tyre sizes re. TRITON

hi kath
my mate has 265/75 bf muds on a two week old triton with no suspention lift hope this helps
cheers bob

Katherine, I have an '03 GLX... When I got new tyres, I was told 225/75-16 was the largest I could safely put on the 6" standard rim. I have 31-10.5-15 muddies on a set of 7" sunraysia's, they fit well and don't scrub anywhere. the 15x7 sunraysia's were about $50 each.

assuming its only a 6 inch rim?? i would go to a 7.50 r 16 you can get some good off road tyres a bit cheaper wit this option

Quick calculation. 205/80 16

16" = 406mm
205 * 0.8 = 164mm - *2 = 328mm

Total OD = 734 mm

In theory you can only legally go up 15mm in diameter = 750mm OD
= approx 29.5" OD
(There are some on this forum who will debate this 15mm figure)

225/75 16 would work at 743 mm OD

I run 235/85 16 on 16"x6" rims - 805mm or 32" OD, which is about the biggest tyre you can mount on that rim.
7.5 x 16 ( = 190/16) is a little narrower, easy to get, and 32" OD.

Don't you love this mixing of metric and imperial in tyre sizes !!!
