But it measures in CM not IN. Personally I am not smart enough to convert it to inches or is it I am just too lazy?

LOL, there are 25.4mm in an inch, so that makes 2.54cm in an inch. I think my math is right.

SlowBlue00 · 02-20-2004, 04:25 PM

Yeh 2.54cm = one inch.

Rick X · 02-20-2004, 04:32 PM

I'm whipping one up in Excel.
Easy enough.

I have one that is an Excel doc I got off of someone on here a while back... best tire calculator I have ever used. It will do some wheel spec conversions too...

98SS · 03-17-2004, 08:32 PM

Those with pics are nice.

I like the one in my sig. No pics of the tires, but more info. like backspacing and it's effects on things, and effective gear ratios with different tires and such.

Check it out (you have to scroll down past the wheels)

sdime98 · 05-25-2004, 02:58 PM

nice tools to use

Outther · 05-26-2004, 03:41 PM

I personaly used the one posted by powerhungrv8.
I prefer it beacuse you first put in your stock size and find a fitment close to stock. It also shows you how wide the tire is too.

However the animated one is fun to play with.

Oh yeah thats funny. I tried a 180, instead of 18, and it jumped up. Im so stupid.....

RKs95BlackSS · 10-29-2004, 12:15 AM

you know, they are cool to use...but the tire sizes are not correct. it says for 225/70/15 it is 27.1in. mine are only 26'' tall. for 245/40/18 it says 25.something. my buddy has that size and his tires are only 24'' tall. am i doing something wrong?

1sick6 · 11-22-2004, 08:59 AM

^^^^ A lot of it depends on brand of tire, air pressure, yadda yadda yadda. Plus you gotta remember on the truck and off the truck it will be different slightly because of the weight you are putting on them

sblazers · 01-28-2005, 01:25 AM

sorry guys i dont really understand... if there is more than a 3% differnece in rim and tire size they wont fit my car.. or do i have to get a wheel alighnment or something... i just dont understand, can someone explain it to me.

All that means is that the overall diameter is 3% bigger or smaller than your stock tires. So there will be a 3% difference in your speedo. If your speedo shows 100mph, you would actually be going 103mph.

NickZigaitis · 08-05-2005, 09:01 AM

Curious if some one has an answer. I did the calculator for a 20" rear wheel on 35 series. The ones I have now are 16" with 40 series tires. Two things, it mention over 3% increase will increase possible brake failure. Any one have a problem with this? Also, it calculated speed say that with my stock ones @ 60 mph it would be 50 mph with the 20" wheels. Does that mean that when the speedo is reading 60mph I'll actually be going 50mph? Some one help explain this. Thanks

the bigger the wheels the slower you speedo reads

i need some help to get my picture on here? s10 las vegas user name

one_red_98 · 03-29-2006, 07:31 PM

ok so maybe i am an idiot but trying all those i cant find the answer to what i am trying to do...

trying to go from 265/75 16s to ???/?? 20s

want the same height but a lil bit wider not much

this is on my f250 not an s10 so dont freak out..

Milky4204 · 03-30-2006, 09:41 PM

285/50/20 would work for you. the 265/75 16 is 31.64 inches and the 285/50/20 is 31.22

328jetmech · 03-31-2006, 01:51 PM

So if your diameter diffrence is over 3% why is their a risk of brake failure. Also is there any way to correct for the speedo error or do you just live with it. I still use my stock wheel/tire for winter but use the newer ZQ8 235/55/16 in the summer. the diffrence is like 3.44%

s10nospeed · 05-11-2006, 01:52 AM

you can get a jet chip and correct the tire size when you reprogram, but idunno if its worth it if you are just using it for that.
