Understanding how to pick out the right size Tires, Rims and wheels
What happens here
The discussion shifts to tire and wheel setups that require significant vehicle modifications. A 35-inch tire on a 20-inch wheel is introduced, noted as typically requiring a minimum 4-inch lift kit for a Jeep or 1500-series pickup truck. Moving to even larger options, a 37-inch tire on a 22-inch wheel is shown, demanding a minimum 4-inch lift, fender modifications (such as cutting or replacing), and likely re-gearing of the vehicle's differentials to maintain performance. The hosts explain that these larger sizes dramatically increase weight and stress on suspension and drivetrain components.
Goal: Learn about tire and wheel sizes that require significant vehicle modifications.
