thequietman Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Currently have 245/70-16 on Ranger but can get a good deal on 265/45/17 tyres (tires). Will they fit or hit against the wheel arches and front of the body when turning. The 265's are Bridgestone and for 4 cost is 13.000 baht not fitted which I think is a great price. Tyres are 2016 manufactured. I can get 4 MAXXIS 245's fitted for 10,000 baht. Any advice please. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Weird Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Yes, they are much too big, 1" in diameter too big to be precise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 245/70 = 172 MM sidewall height - 70% aspect ratio 265/45 = 120 MM sidewall height 406 mm + 172 = 578 mm 432 mm + 120 = 552 So the 17" wheel/tire combo is 25mm shorter but 20mm wider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 You will have to use a bit of bondo with that size tyre... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the "regular" size tyres are mass produced for the mass produced rides.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 17" rims , of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
