How much bigger will my tires be?
I currently have 255/65/16 size tires on my 1999 ford f150 and i'm upgrading to 245/75/16. How much bigger will they be?
The 255 is the width in millimeters, 16 is the rim diameter in inches (yes, inches, I know right?), and the 65 is the aspect (height over width).
Your old tires were 255/65, meaning they have a section height of 166 mm. The new tires are 245/75, so they will have a skinnier, but taller section (184 mm). Stood side-by-side, the new tires will be 36 mm, or about an inch and a half taller (because the section height is doubled).
- Which classic car is bigger? My dad has a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Conv. I made a wise crack to him one time that I wanted a 1958 Plymouth Fury (Christine). He said that that the car was bigger then the Galaxie. But I was at work today and said something to a co-worker and they said the Fury is a good deal smaller then the Galaxie. I never got to see a '58 Fury in person so I was wanting to know, thanks.
- Is the 1995 Chevy s10's regular cab bigger than the 1996 Ford Ranger's regular cab? I always heard that Chevy trucks have more cab room than old Ford trucks. I'm just thinking if a Chevy s10's regular cab is bigger then the Ford Ranger's regular cab. What's bigger and gives you more space? What smaller and hardly gives you any space?
- Can 225/70R16 tires fit on rims that have 225/70r14 tires on them? I have 225/70r14 tires on my Ford ranger. I just got some 225/70r16 tires of the same brand, Cooper, given to me. Will they fit on the 225/70r14 rims or do I need to get rims to fit the 225/70r16.
- For drag racing, can I go with a smaller rim on the back with a bigger tire and keep my 19 on the front? 2008 Ford Mustang Right now i'm sitting at 245/45r19 fronts and rears 275/40r19 The reason for asking is because i can't find a drag radial or Slick that fits my rim?
