No more new rims just tires.

Well I've always been partial to the rims on my truck and i can't find a rim that i really really like so I think I'll run the stock rims and run either a 305/65/17 or a 295/70/17 Toyo M/T or Nitto Trail Grappler but I'm open to all options. Just gonna wait till i get the taxes back but i wanna make my decision. Opinons?

What rims did you have and what are your factory ones? The 99-02 rims?

Wait, your stockers are 17's?

The rims on my truck technically are stock rims they are stock 17's off an 04 like the ones you ordered matt

What rims you got? not the ones in your sig?

Oh, OK.

In that case, 265/70-17 are stock size (-0.1% difference from the 265/75-16 that is stock on your truck). The only other real option to keep it close would be a 285/65-17.

I've been playing around with the tire size calculator over on the Miata forum (the one Stickied in the tires section on here).
Specification__Sidewall__Radius__Diameter__Circumference__Revs/Mile__Difference
265/75-16.......7.8in.........15.8in.....31.6in.........99.4in................637.............0.0%
265/70-17___7.3in_____15.8in___31.6in____99.3in________638_______-0.1%
285/70-17.......7.9in.........16.4in.....32.7in.........102.8in..............617.............3.3%
285/65-17___7.3in_____15.8in___31.6in____99.2in________639_______-0.2%
295/65-17.......7.5in.........16.0in.....32.1in.........100.8in..............628.............1.4%
305/60-17___7.2in_____15.7in___31.4in____98.7in________642_______-0.8%
305/65-17.......7.8in.........16.3in.....32.6in.........102.4in..............618.............3.0%
315/60-17___7.4in_____15.9in___31.9in____100.2in_______633_______0.7%



I was thinking of going with a 285/70-17, but then my spare wouldn't match and a set would be $120 more, so I'm sticking with a 265/70-17.

Yes the ones in my sig are the ones im talking about

I put Kelly's on mine and the road noise is very quiet and they don't have the tread wearout problem that alot of aggressive tires do. And they were pretty cheap for 5.
