How small tires can i put on it???

 

215s are pretty dang skinny. They are 26" tires but really I can't say more unless you say what size wheel you have.

 

15 in

 

Need to know wheel size AND back space. Those tires are fine, but you may need a rim with more back spacing if you've lowered the front.

 

i dont understand wat ur talkin bout???? i think of geetin these tires for it
BF Goodrich 84420 BFGoodrich Radial T/A Tires
i just worried it might still rubb an i dont want to get too small tires

thanks
mike

 

I wouldn't get anything until you go to a tire store and talk to them about back spacing and offset.
An example:
If you had a 15"x7" front wheel you will normally have a 50-50 offset, so the back spacing would be 50% of the wheel width, thus 3.5" But if your wheel is a reverse style, it may only have 2.5" back spacing, and 4.5" to the front, which will put the outside edge closer to the fender and rub when you turn or hit a bump.

You can make an even wider tire fit, if the back spacing is correct, but if not even a skinnier tire wont fit without rubbing.

 

how do u check ur back spacen???

 

You pull a wheel, then put something across the rim in back (but not touching the tire!) and take a tape measure to measure between the surface that bolts to your hub and the outside edge of the rim. That's your back space.

 

ok man u been a big help one more question tho how do u chang ur back spacing is that somethin i can do or would i hav to goto a tire store
