Understanding how to pick out the right size Tires, Rims and wheels

Are we rolling? Rolling. [Music] I got a cool bumper. It's really weird. This is part of the process right here. It's a big word for Polish guy. An intra goal. A 22-in wheel is really nowhere 22 in. That's wild. [Music] Got it. We just call it wheel. All right, guys. Today we're at the shop of Custom Offsets and we're going to be looking at tires and wheels and how to choose the right one for your vehicle because you can't just slap anything on and expect it to work. All right. So, I'm with Banker today. And Banker is the well, he's the head of the shop. This is my home. This is this is his home. And today's video is sponsored by Custom Offsets and Rolling Big Power. So, show a little love to the people that help bring you this content and go check them out. Now, from this point this way, we're talking about no modifications needed, right? This is mostly stock trucks. Very minimal modifications. And then from this point this way, we're talking about body lifts, also regearing, cutting stuff away, doing what we got to do to fit stuff that day, right? And so this is about the 33 in mark right here. So, let's get into this thing. Let's just go down the the line, okay, of what we've got here. Stock Jeep. Stock Jeep size. So, this is going to be a 31in tire. Okay, this is going to fit on just about anything out there. And this is an 8 17 17in wheel. 17in wheel. Now, this is a 32 32.8. So, this is just under a 33. This is the most typical size you're going to find on anything that's leveled. So, the 2in leveling kits that they throw on stuff, you're going to see this tire right here, 12 1/2 wide, just under a 33. And so, this has got a 16-in rim. Yep. So, you can see the different sizes in the rims. All right, we got to jump in here because we need to clarify something. I keep saying rim, and that's actually the wrong term. There's two main components that people are familiar with, tires and rims, but in reality, the right way to phrase it is wheel. So, you're going to notice me trying to correct that, and later on, I'm going to actually break down the different parts of the tire and name all of the different components so we can all be on the same page. But for right now, every time I say rim, really, what I'm referring to is the wheel. And I'll make it much more clear in just a minute. Absolutely. And so now this one, this one is our factory heavy duty truck. So this is off of an F250 or F350. This is just over a 33. So this once you get into the bigger trucks like that is going to be your starting your jumping off point, okay, of those trucks. So is this. It's only 9 in wide, but it's 33 in tall. So this is like 9 in wide. This is technically a 12 1/2. And this again is 9 in wide. They're they're measuring the tread pattern. They're not measuring the sidewall bulge on those things. Okay. And from this point this way, this is this is all fairly factory sizing. Everything that's going to fit without really messing up your truck, your Jeep, too bad. Okay. So, and then from this way forward, we're going to be modifying. Yeah, we're modifying all sorts of fun stuff. So, we'll start off. This is the 351 12 1/2. This is your typical 4-in lift kit minimum to fit it on, you know, a Jeep. 6-in lift kit to fit it on a 1500 pickup truck. And what size rim do we have on this one? This one's on a 20. A 20. Okay. And so here we've got a 22 in rim. We got a 22, but this is a 37. 37. So this one, you start getting into this size is when you're going to on a smaller vehicle like the Jeep, thinking about uh, you know, modifying things. So that's why we're putting the fenders on on yours. We've also got to put a 4-in lift in minimum. Yep. Minimum 4in lift. And at this size is when you start thinking about regearing heavily thinking about especially if you're going to actually use it for what it's meant for. Exactly. Then you're going to rege. Yeah. Well, if you I mean if you're going to take the Jeep off on the trail anyway, regear it from the factory. That thing is designed for highway cruising because just the tire alone, just just rolling down the road, this tire alone is going to be creating extra torque. And where I mean this thing's heavy. Yeah. Yeah, you know, you compare this just the size difference from your factory Jeep wheel to this new one. You're talking an extra 100 lb of rolling mass on all four corners. So, you know, brake wear, suspension wear. So, that's where the lift kits come in with the beefier components, things of that nature. Not to mention, you try putting this on with your factory fenders, you're going to be you're not turning. It may fit like you may be able to get it in the in the hole in the hole. It's the turning that that is the issue. It's the turning. So, you're going to end up cutting the cowl and modifying a lot of the body components just to get something like this. Yep. Where if you go down to We don't have a 33 in here. We've got the 32, right? Well, I mean, it's a it's close enough to a 33. This you can get away with, but you can w Can you widen this this tire out to this? What is this one? So, this is a 12 1/2 wide. So, you can do a 33 12 1/2. Okay. Um on say Well, on the Jeep, you can do it on a leveling kit. a truck, you're gonna want to go up to three and a half inch, 4 inch lift. Okay, guys. We talked about clearance issues and we're going to show you what we're talking about. These are 37. Okay, so we do have clearance, oddly enough on this side, but on this side, we're definitely hitting. So, we talked about clearance issues with 37s. There you go. Now you can see it firsthand. And now we got the big boy on the end. So now we're looking at a 40 incher. Yeah. So this one 40 15 12. You need a big truck to fit these or a lot of cutting. So say we wanted to put these on the Jeep. You're talking fender delete 6-in lift absolute minimum. Um more than likely an 8 in which is you know to fit it on the Superduty same thing. We did 8 in lift to fit these. So a fender delete especially for a Jeep means you're just removing them. just taking them off. Running something like RBP's replacement fenders that give you a lot more clearance is going to be required when you're going something this big if you're not lifting it to the stock. Right. Well, it's going to be required on this one as well, right? With the 4in lift. With a 4 in. Absolutely. Okay. And we look at some of the differences in the rim size itself. This is a 2214. So you'll see, you know, obviously there's a decent amount of sidewall here, but when you drop down, this is the same 22 x 12 37. You got a little bit less sidewall. The more air, more sidewall there is, the better the ride quality is actually going to be. So when you take this part of the tire away, you're actually adding it right into your back. Exactly. Basically, so you're going to feel it a little bit more. So the more meat you've got in the rubber, that adds to the suspension. So the tire actually is an integral integral. It's a big word for a Polish guy. An integral. Integral. I don't think you're saying it right either. All right. Come here. Let's ask. Let's ask the camera guy. How do we say it? Integral. Brent. How do we say it? What he said. Okay. Hopefully you guys know what we mean. Thanks, camera guy. So, if we could go with a 24in rim on this one. This is a 22. We're going to be taking the meat away from the tire, but keeping the same diameter. Same diameter tire. Yeah, the tire is going to be fine, but the sidewall is going to cut down something like this. Well, actually, let's show them exactly what we're talking about right here. So, these are almost identical tires. Yep. Right. 18-in rim, but 16in rim and a 17in rim. That's why we put them all side by each like that. You had a good question, Jared, right? This was your question. Yeah. I just want to make sure I'm measuring it right. So, a 22-in wheel is really nowhere 22 in. It's 22 in at the mounting surface of the tire. So if you go edge to edge, it's a 23 and 1/2 in rim, right? Or wheel. If you go inside to inside, it's a 21 1/2 in wheel. So if you go where about the tire would mount to where the tire would mount here, it's 22. The rim size is going to make a difference in the tire, not the overall tire size, but the meat on the tire, which translates to your ride quality. So you see those tires, the low profofile tires, they don't have a lot of ride quality, but it's a look that if you're searching for, you've got you got to know that purely aesthetic. Yep. Exactly. And that's why, you know, a lot of the off-road guys go with more tire, better ride, and this is going to get you through stuff. You can air this down. You air down a tire that's got this much sidewall, you're running right on the wheel. I learned something from Sean today. We can't say rim. We can't say rim. We can't say rim, right? Because this is actually Can you fill me in on this? This is actually the rim of the wheel. Is that right? Yes. So, Sean Sean is the owner of Custom Offsets and he was like, I'm going to teach you by the end of the week. This is the rim of the wheel. This is the lip of the wheel. Together, they form the barrel of the wheel and this is the face of the wheel. Okay. We just call it wheel. We call it wheel and tire. Anything else we should know? So, we know we're modifying stuff this way. We know we can get by this way. What else should we know when we're trying to figure out what do we want to put on our truck, Jeep, or vehicle? It's not all about size. Size is crucial. Um, load rating is another big deal cuz that comes into safety. Okay. Um, so say you're running this 35 12 on a 20. There are going to be cheap tires out there that are 800 for a set. the load rating is going to be not heavy enough. So what they'll do um it used to be A B CDE E they still use those that terminology that is only talking about how many plies there are. So that's sidewall ply. Um so average everybody's like oh they're load range E tires I can run them because they're load range E. Well you can have load range E 10 ply tire that's only rated at a 117 index. So, for a heavyduty truck, you need a 125 or better. And you can see that right here. So, you see load range E. Yep. 125. So, this is a factory Superduty wheel. The uh PSI is down here. It's like 3,800 lb at 80 PSI. So, that's what this tire can handle. Now, if we come over here, we have load range F. So, max load is 1650. So, this is a 12 ply tire, but the max load is 1,600 lb. That one's 38. It's half. So, this is a 117 load index. 116. Okay. So, this even though it's a 12 ply tire, realistically on a heavy duty truck could blow out. So, the you you guys need to look at the load index, the load index rating if you're actually going to be using this for a work truck and not just for a pavement princess or a mall. Absolutely. And you'll notice the smaller the sidewall, the lower that number is going to be. You're going to better luck running a 16inch wheel with a, you know, 16 and a 33 over there is going to have a higher rating than this 20 and 35 because of the sidewall, the amount of sidewall there is there. You know, you're like, well, I want the most sidewall then, so I'm going to get 15s. 15s don't fit like on the newer truck. You have to do a 17 or bigger. So, it gets tricky when you're looking for tires when the smallest wheel you can run is a 17 or 18 in wheel. Now, isn't that where the website for Custom Offsets can actually help guys understand that? Yes. This is all information that can be found on our website. Guys, one last thing. When you upsize your tire, your stock tire carrier is not going to work anymore. That means you're going to have to upgrade your tire carrier, especially if it's on the back of a Jeep, because these tires are just too beefy for your stock tire cure to be able to handle it. It's a lot more weight and at first you may be able to get it on there, but eventually you're going to damage the hinges on your door. It's going to have problems. So, be prepared for some of the other consequences that it goes along with upgrading your tires and rims. [Music] So, what's the recommended connection connection method when you're uh using a log for a front bumper, guy? Leg bolts. Really really uh coarse leg bolts. Really thick leg bolts. All right. And I I see we've got a stumpy front bumper, right? Of course, you got to be short on those good approach angles when you're off-roading. Yes. Who needs a $300 bumper? We cut this one for 50 cents out in the woods. Provided by nature. [Music] Okay, one last thing before you guys go down the road. Torque your lug nuts down. What do we set at? 120. 120. And every wheel is going to be different. Or is 120 the universal number? 120 is the number for the Jeep. 120 is the number for the Jeep. Is there a different number for trucks and other cars? Uh, five and six lug trucks are 120. Eight lug trucks are 140. Cars are typically 85.
