Tye Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I currently have zovak hpw401s and they are 185/70/r13 on my Loyale. I want to get some general grabber AT2s which are 27 x 8.5R14. my wheels measure 14 inches across. I have seen other people with thus same wheel/ tire combination i am just not sure if my wheels are the same size. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 The answer is No. You can not put safely a 14" tire on a 13" rim. The Rims you have are 13" so, you'll need to find another rims in 4X140 Lug Pattern, that have 14" in order to use those Tires; such like Peugeot Rims; or you can find 14" rims with the 6X139 lug pattern, and Redrill your Hubs to six lugs; using the procedure stated at the USRM. There are other options as well, but those two are the most easy / common. Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I forgot to mention, that the extra inch you see on your measuring tape, is for the Tire's lip to seat & seal, but you must read the Tire: it states that is 13" Kind Regards.

DaveT Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yes the 13" is the base of the seat, not the top edge of the lip that keeps the tire from popping off the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
