Post of all Rims and Tires out there!

Pk those aint no rubberbands ! The roads arent horrible here but not to many smooth. Ride is nice in these even with potholes and such. I used to run 285/35/22 so this is a nice improvement.

Did you have OEM wheels before? If so, I'd be interested in your thoughts of MPG before and after the swap. (Still trying to decide whether stock or larger tires get the best MPG results.)

Kinda leaning toward smaller for city driving and larger for HWY? IDK.

Yes Vette i run my stocks for winter which are 285/60/18 so the mpgs arent that different maybe 1-2 less. I do a combo of constant highway and city.

The 32's give you lower mileage or vica-versa?

I agree, those don't quite qualify as rubber bands. They are still manageable by tire pressure. I'm guessing 3-4lbs less than stock feel about the same?

BTW...Here's what ya call "rubber bands"....

It ain't difficult, just copy & paste the image url, then change the url tags to img.

Nice look'n rig...

Thx Dub !

There we got but how do I get the size bigger?

Look at the filename pasted in your link. It's got "thumbs" in the path. Just copy the link from the full-size pic (when opened). That'll get it.

What kind of wheels are those? Offset or backspace? Are they 9's?

Yeh...what him sez...

[Lizardmen3477]

Vette they are 22x9.5 with an offset of +10mm and backspace is 5.6''. I get a little less mpg with these guys then over my stock ones.( most likely due to the sheer weight of these comp to stock)

Don't forget Lizard that your tires are larger than OEM and are throwing off your ODO and speedometer by 8.532% LESS than how far/fast you're actually going.

Also, your OD is 32.09" according to the calculator at 1010tires.

Ooooh...you're a keen stickler. AFAICT, they look like Nitto NT420's. On their website, the OD is listed exactly as 32.09". Considering variance from brand-to-brand, I'm surprised they come out EXACTLY the same as the 1010's calculator!

I REALLY like those rims, lizardman! 5-spoke, 6-lug wheels are rare. What make/model are they? FWIW, I like the wheel/tire ratio and how they fill the wells. Better than any other 22's I've seen pictured in this thread. And, I like the 45's way better than the appearance of your older 35's....

I like the addition of the chrome nerf bar too!
:ThumbsUP!:

So, my new tires are at exactly 35", but remember I have 4.78 gears in. So now that I am averaging just over 200miles per tank, what is the actual miles? What do I multiply by?

[tom4bren]

I'm talkin out my arse here because I really don't know, but:

4.78 is the number of revolutions of the drive shaft for each revolution of the tire. So if you swapped from 4.11s to 4.78s, then your ODO & Speedo should be off by 16%.

But ...

You also increased your tire diameter (from 29" to 35") for a difference of 20% but in the opposite direction. Your net SHOULD be a 4% change in your ODO & Speedo.

The best way to check is just to compare your mph to the reading on a GPS or to run a known distance and compare the ODO reading (the longer the distance, the more accurate the comparison will be - I'd do a minimum of 10 miles but more is better).

Y'all can correct me on what I've FUBAR'd here.

I done did all the homework for ya months ago Ryan...

Don't you remember......

Will increasing my OD by only 0.5" have any affect on my TOD or any other functions? I currently have 29.5" and my next tire setup will be 30" hopefully. Maybe even 30.5". Depending on which tire I go with.

[deermagnet]

H3, the only thing that will affect will be your speedo and odo. They both will be very slightly wrong. Not much at all. There are online tire calculators that will give you the exact percentage they'll be off by.

Really? With only half an inch. I figured it wouldn't make any difference at all. Thanks.
