TRX Aftermarket Wheel and Tire pics! [size/offset]

Other than what I posted earlier, before bolting the wheels on, no. Maybe this photo helps a bit?

Has anyone changed their rims but maintained the correct size? Pics?

What is “the correct size”?

Sorry stock size. 18x9. As much as i like 20, 22 i’m liking how much tire i have and I’m considering just changing them to 18x 9 but a different wheel or a 18x10

An 18x10 should help handling, if using the stock tire size. An 18x11 would be better yet.
Stock offset, of course, and good looking. I'm not asking for much.

Yes, 18x9 +18 KMC Impacts.

I know this may sound crazy and someone may have asked. Does anyone make a 36inch tall tire? Right in the middle of a 35 and 37 would be perfect...

the 315/70R18 toyo open country MT is basically a 36x13, but also the stock tire basically is too at 35.9x12.8. there's probably a few other similar options out there as well around that size

On a 20" wheel there are quite a few 325/60r20 options which are typically close to a 36x13.

Thanks for the pics.

I keep finding them listed as 34.8, and 13" wide. The latter is likely wider because of the measuring rim being wider.

Ah i was just using a tire size conversion since they all measure absolutely different than the size listed anyway. but yes if there's a way to dig up the actual measurement info on several different tires that would be obviously much more solid.

Well, it's called "nominal tire size" for a reason. That's why I always look up the actual measurements for a given tire.
You can usually find them on the manufacturers' web sites, or even Tire Rack, for example.

Funny thing is, tires never truly measure up to the listed actual sizes…. lol

It sure seems rare, but I've run into a few that were larger in real life than their nominal size suggested.

Calculated they are 34.6 - measured on my truck, a little shy of 34".....

When you say measured on the vehicle, does that mean from the ground to the top of the tire? If so, what you're really measuring is the radius plus the static loaded radius, not the diameter.

Not all manufacturers publish the static loaded radius, but generally the revs per mile. Once you know either one it's simple enough to calculate the other.

I prefer using the revs per mile numbers when comparing tires, as it's easier to get a more precise comparison that way. Although, it still won't be quite correct in real life since SLR and RPM numbers are with max inflation (for the tire) and at max load, also for the tire.

Quick correction. I'm measuring the static loaded diameter. Radius will be half of that.

But for the sake of knowing what fits and what doesn't, my experience is that getting the stock measured diameter and measuring the clearance is the easiest way to get things not to rub later

Can't say that I've ever came across "static loaded diameter" before. Either way, there's a difference between a tire's radius and its static loaded radius. Its radius is not half of a "static loaded diameter".

And you're right. It's very simple to leave any official numbers out of it completely and just use a tape measure to find out what might fit. Not sure why that is such an unpopular method. Other than that it requires thinking.

Although, it can be tricky to determine exactly how much a bump stop will deflect, even on a live axle.
On the other hand, articulation plays a smaller role with IFS.
