 Subject: Wheel Depth and Tire Size
IP: Logged
Message:
How do you know how deep your wheels need to be for the tires? My Dakota came with 18x8 chrome wheels. Tires sizes are given like 265/60R18 but nothing is said about the depth. If I want to go up in tire size, how do I know if I need deeper (8.5, 9, 9.5...) rims?

Depends what you mean by "up in tire size."
Taller or wider?
265/60R18 is same as 31x10.5x18.
1/2" wider (31x11x18) would be 280/60/18.
A reputable tire dealer will be able to recommend optimum wheel depth based on desired tire size.

As a general rule, take your rim width and add 3.5" for the max tire width for that rim.

Thats a good general rule just remember that the less sidewall you have the closer to the rim width you have to stay with the tires.

Also, the less sidewall you have, the more chance to ruin a tire by curbing it, potholes and off-road stuffs.
