subi dude Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hello again...gotta new question. I am soon getting new tires for my car cause my current ones are almost completely done for. I currently have wildcat 205/75/r15's on there. And I really want to get the BFG Mud terrain KM2's. but the smallest tire they sell for 15 inch wheels are 215/75/r15's. So to let you know, i've already pounded down and cut as much as i could to make sure the 205's work, they dont rub AT ALL. so that is good. So will the 215's work with my 2 inch lift? Will there be a significant amount of rubbing while on/off road? Also, can someone tell me what diameter my current 205's are, and what diameter the new 215's would be? like, 27in? 29in? 30in? 31in? I WOULD REALLY like to know.. Any information would be awesome. thanks, subi_dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spazomatic Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I dont have a link or remember exactly where i found it..... Look up "tire size conversion chart" in your googler, and a couple sites pop up. The one i used was miata related....sorry best i can do. Its early, need more coffee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czny Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) I opted for 215/75/15 Hankook M/Ts on 6 lug 15x6 Nissan Pathfinder wheels. They were lees money than the BFGs. And the 215s I got had snow stud holes(how here in So. Cal. I got the studded tires I don't know:D.) Haven't bolted them up yet to check for clearance with my 4" lift on 87 gl. Here's a link: http://www.offroaders.com/tech/AT-MT-Tires/Hankook-MT.htm Edit: tires I got are the Dynapro M/T RT03s. Pic on this site doesn't show stud holes. Hmmm.

The FNG Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 That' s what I've got on my loyale with a 2" lift. (215r15's) BFG KM2 . They will rub but with enough trimming they will fit. I can post pics maybe tomorrow if you need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FNG Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Here is what it used to look like before I did some additional trimming to the fenders and front valence thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zefy Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I trimmed and pounded quite a bit to make mine fit. running 215/75/15 BFG m/t KM's. I went a little overboard in some parts and not enough in some others. I rub on full lock. Rear doesn't touch at all. kinda hard to see but only pic I can find right now. Different offset wheels would probably make it not rub at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newrider3 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm running 235/75 Goodyear Wranglers with my 2" lift. The Wranglers do tend to measure out small though, they measure out to a little under 27" tall. I do rub on full lock turns, and there's some occasional scraping from the rear when hitting a big dip with a bunch of cargo in the back, but I just need to go back and trim the rear wheel opening a bit more.
