How wide of a tire can be used on a 2005 jeep wrangler with 4 inch lift?

Width depends on the wheel offset, not the lift height, the lift will allow for about a 33 inch tire, but to get width you will need a different offset and width of wheel as well.

Can a 10 inch tire fit on a 7 inch rim?

You must know the answer is NO. Not necessarily true, we're talking about width I assume, the section width of the tire 10" in this case is measured at the widest part of the tire. The bead, the part of the tire that sits on the wheel, is significantly narrower. Just as an example P245/55R20, which is a 10" wide tire lists the apporved rim width as 7.0"-9.0", so depending on the exact size it is very possible that your 10" wide tire could go on a 7" wide rim.


What is cross-sectional width of tire?

A tire's section width (aka"cross section width") is the measurement of the tire's width from its inner sidewall to its outer sidewall (excluding any protective ribs, decorations or raised letters) at the widest point. This measurement is made without any load placed upon the tire. The rim the tire is mounted on affects this measurement. On a narrow rim the measurement would be "narrower" than if the same tire was mounted on a wide rim. The industry rule of thumb is that for every 1/2" change in rim width, the tire's section width will correspondingly change by approximately 2/10". For example: a tire in the P205/60R15 size is measured on a 6.0" wide wheel and this size tire has an approved rim width range from 5.5" to 7.5" wide. The tire has a section width of 8.23" (209mm) when mounted on a 6.0" wide wheel. If that tire were mounted on a rim: 5.5" - 8.03" cross section width 7.5" - 8.93" cross section width It's mainly important for (fender, frame)clearances, but a narrow rim should give a softer ride due to sidewall positioning, but less grip due to tread not less flat, more sidewall roll.

Will thirty three inch tires fit on 8 inch wide rims?

Yes, if the width of the tires are right. You can place 33" x 10" wide tires on 8" wide rims. Your tires will have a number like 33x15x10.5. This is a tire that is 33" in circumference, will fit a 15" wheel, and is 10.5" wide. Just verify whether you have 14",15" or 16" wheels before ordering. The width of the tire is the determining factor here. The most common 33 inch tire size is 33-1250R15, these will probably be too wide for an 8 inch rim.


How big is a 205x40x17 tire?

Tire tread is 205 MM wide or 8 inches Side wall height is 40 % of tread width or 81.7 mm or 3.2 inches Wheel size is 17 inches Overall tire height is 23.4 inches or 595 mm


How do you calculate tyer size?

The first three numbers are the width in millimeters, the second set is the height of the tire (edge of the width to the bead) expressed as a percentage of the first number and then R__ is the rim size. For example, a 205/55R16 tire is 205mm wide, (205×.55) 112mm tall with a 16 inch wheel


Which tire is bigger a 30x9.50R15 or a 225x70R16?

Which Tire is bigger you ask? The 30X9.50r15 is larger than the 16 in tire in width. To get the width of the 15 inch tire you need to multiply 30 by 9.50. This will give you a total width of 285. So the width of the 15 inch tire is 285mm wide. The width of the 16 inch tire is 225. So there is a difference of 60 mm. I am not familiar with the Jeep Cherokee. I have seen a few people place 255/70r/16s on their jeep cherokees. I think 285 mm wide tires might be a little too wide. If you decide to lift this jeep, then you should not have a problem placing a 285 mm wide tire on it.
