Tire chart sticky please?

[vtach]

Okay I have read that 11.00x20 tires is as large as one should go on stock rims, either singled or standard double. I have also read and found PICs of 14.5x20, 14.00x20 and, 395/85/20 on stock rims. So now I am confused?

Could we maybe get an accurate chart somewhere as to what tires will fit on stock rims, what rims are needed for larger tires, and if a lift is needed?
I see many questions posted about tire sizes and just thought that is someone knows what will fit, they could post something for a reference guide for those of us that don't.

If someone can send me the info, I will put in into chart form.

Thanks, Jeff

i have 15.5 80r 20s on stock rims i see alot of people do it i wouldnt advise it .the ratings are for a good reason. they were near impossible to get on there and try geting em of when you get a flat even harder. plus its a safety issue with the way the bead hits the rimcould cause the ring to blow off which is bad news !!!!!!!

To quote from the Deuce listing on the SS Wiki:


"Tires

M35A2
Stock NDT 900X20 (36 X 20)

M35A3
Stock 14.5R 20 (43.5 X 20)

Largest Tire on stock wheels 1100X20 (43 X 20) or 12.50R20 (40 X 20)
Largest tire with out lift 15.5 G20 or 395 85R 20 (47 X 10 X 20)... Requires 10-11 inch "singled" wheels.

1400R20 (49.5 X 20) requires a 4" inch lift and the rear axles need to be moved apart or one removed
1600R20 (52 X 20) requires a 8" lift and the rear axles need to be moved apart or one removed"

The Wiki is available under the 'Forum' menu at the top of the page. Hope this helps.
