rim/tires sizes

i have 32*11.5*R15 tires on these chrome rims. this guy has 35*12.5*R15 tires on his rim. i don't know how thick my rim is but it holds my 11.5 tire, would it hold his 12.5 tire? and would the 12.5 rim fit my tires, that are 11.5? its probably hard to understand sorry....thanks

josh

Smile Rim Sizes

Josh33, I don't know what size rims you have so its hard to be accurate. I have 33x12:50x15 on my Bronco. The rims are 10". This is a good fit. So a tire 12.50 should fit on a 10" wide rim. However, you could have a clearance issue with a 35" tall tire. Be sure to check it out. Also, what year is your Bronco.

You may not have clearance issues but you will have performance issues running 35's without re-gearing for them. Just going up to 33's will give you passing and hill-climbing power concerns... 35's are going to be worse.

Agreed, swapping to 4.56:1 gear ratios in both axles would alleviate performance issues when going up in tire diameter by that much.
