For the love of god, someone help me?
Okay so heres the deal, im a tire and wheel noob. I know almost nothing about them so when someone says something like 15 /235 / 75 im fuckin' lost on what that means. I know that right now i have 15 inch wheels on my ranger and its just a normal 5 bolt pattern because theyre stock wheels i believe. Will someone give me a simple 101 on this?

Alright man 15/235/75 are the exact tire size I have found fit mine w/o rubbing 15 is the rim size 235 is the with 75 is the height ratio based on width now you can go wider than 235 but you won't be able to go higher with wider. Any more questions

235/75/r15
First number is tire width so 235mm
Second number is tire sidewall height or aspect ratio in ur case 75% of 235mm=176mm
R15 is rim size so 15in diameter rims

Re: For the love of god, someone help me?
If your looking for rims check these out. Theyre just stealies but cheap and they look good.

Also those tires look like baja claws and theyre kinda pricey.
