A question about rim size...

Re: A question about rim size...
Your 315/75/16 tire calculates out to be 34.6" diameter, which will vary
slightly based on rim width and manufacturing variance. The 2 tires you
suggested as spares will be significantly smaller diameter.
To calculate the tire height of metric sized tires, use this formula:
(width*aspect ratio*.000787) + rim diameter = height in inches
This will give you the tire diameter in inches. You're going to need a tire
close to the same width, or a higher aspect ratio to end up with a tire
close to the diameter you are looking for. One other option would be a
larger diameter rim, but that will cost big money for rim and also tire.
if you can find a tire with 80 aspect ratio, 295 and 305 width would be
close, and if you can find 85 aspect ratio, 285 width would be close. I
think these are going to be pretty odd sizes to find, but maybe I'm wrong.

Re: A question about rim size...
Not even in the ball park.
I would go with the cheaper stock 15"x7" rim that is easy to find a used
tire for. 16" tires for a YJ are rare and pricey.
To start off, do you have a locker or limited slip in either axle? The
answer to that will make a radical difference in what you can run.

Re: A question about rim size...
Not even in the ball park.
I would go with the cheaper stock 15"x7" rim that is easy to find a used
tire for. 16" tires for a YJ are rare and pricey.
To start off, do you have a locker or limited slip in either axle? The
answer to that will make a radical difference in what you can run.

Thanks for the formula...now I got something to work with. You are right
about not finding a 295/305-80-16 I looked... no luck.
