Rim sizes

Post by xirnibor »

Is it possible to put 235/45/18s rims/tires on a baja?

Check out a wheel calculator:

I punched in your stock tire size - 225/60/16, and it recommend 2 larger sizes: 235/50/17 and 245/45/18. The 17" option is -1.2% shorter, and the 18" option is 0.1% different which is as close as you can get to match.

The difference between the 18" you suggested and the recommended size, is your example is slightly narrower and slightly shorter.
