265mm wide Would need the profile hight as well to work it out the hight of the tyres Just get them bought off Banshee, Alex & you won't have to worry about metric to imperial conversions any more as you can buy 33.10.5.15 tyres

Was just trying to figure out what my current width is in the yank conversion, I'm 265, don't care for the height.

Edit - buy yeah pretty damn sure I'm having these wheels!

Just wanna make sure I can fit either a 33" or possibly a skinny 35 if I go that route.

Edit edit lol

265mm is 10.5" used a very high tech thing called a tape measure but you need the profile hight & rim size also to work out the overall tyre size

Don't be silly, far less effort to just post the question

You're not the first person to give a reminder about working out metric size...

Your current tyres in old money are 32 10.50x16
If I remember correctly.
A lot of re moulds tend to be slightly bigger because of the carcass used for the re tread.

Wicked okie dokie, not fussed about height for the time being, just width that could be an issue. I'm not having much luck, I was on many tyre size convertes yesterday, they are not clear, and half the time unless you know the size complete it wont populate. Basically I will be looking for more or less the same width tyre, one for the rim and two so it's not so sluggish. There seems to be a common size of 34/10.50/15

33 10.50 15 are a fairly common size.
Stick the size in the search in ebay and it will bring up some matches and a lot more besides.
This will give you an idea of what is on the market and prices.

Hey dude, I just searched that size with limited results, seems 33/12.50/15 is much more common

I know a few stressed on here about squeezing onto rim, but should be ok

Alex mate, squeezing it onto the rim is nothing to do with it.

A 12.5" wide tyre will fit onto a 8" wide rim but the risk is that because it is being pinched in by the 4.5" narrower rim then an impact on the tyre when offroading could make the tyre pop off the rim... and then you're knackered

12.5" is hell of a wide anyway, equivalent to 315mm ie 50 mm wider than your current tyre. When it comes to mud the narrower tyre will be far better at cutting through it.

I don't see why maths is so hard ? 265 mm wide simple mm to inch conversion. Divide by 25.4 simples

Oh.. That is probably wider than I really want.

I will try and find a 10.50

I just had the best link too... https://www.4x4tyres.co.uk/15inch-ty...6_172_191.html
