Ashwell Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ok so I recently picked you some 15x8 wheels and already have them drilled now i am trying to find a tire that is under 29 inches because that all the clearance my struts will allow. So I am looking at son general grabber at2. size is 225/70 R15. Was just wondering if that would fit my rims? any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 A 15" tire will fit a 15" rim ... ... a 225/70 R15 tire has around 27.4" diameter. According to this: ~► https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc Website. So yes, they're under 29" ... Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 The sources on the 'Net recommend a maximum of 7.5" for that size of tire. I don't know what will happen if you put it on an 8" rim. Maybe there is an experienced tire person out there who can comment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferp420 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 my 235/75/15 goodyear wranglers are around 29.5 235/70/15 on my car right now are about 29" ive run 225/75/15 on a 8" wide rim with no issues only problem you might have is when aired down it would be slightly easyer to pop a bead and or ding the rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashwell Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) With those 29's do they rub at all? i wanted to get discovery at3's but i figured they would hit the top of my strut. I have a 2 inch lift with crossmember spacer 1.5''. Edited November 30, 2015 by Ashwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferp420 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 i do rub just a little in reverse under full lock it hits the unibody in front of the wheels just slightly there is enuff room to get my hand in between the tire and spring purch i did use the BFH in a few spots but mostly just to smooth the inside of the wheel well i also cut the isht out of my fendes i ran these tires when i had my 2" lift on also adding another 3" of lift dident seem to change a thing as far as the rubbing goes still hits the same place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
