200 Series Tire and Wheel Size Database (5 Viewers)

[mep1811]

I’m definitely initiated and have played this game with both the 4R and 80 series to know better than to try to shop without consulting the offset calculator . It’s the same with the 120/150 series (and even the 80) platform - people love the popular -38 (and beyond ) offset but when it comes to articulation they just FAR from ideal.

I did all pinning forward pre-front bumper on the 4R so I agree it’s no sweat - I’m plenty versed there - the rear required some persuading of the pinch weld seam but also ended up fitting well enough with LT rear. Just reassign to know there is some more room under the wheel arches with these haha.

I’m not sure about the gearing for the 5.7 but I’m assuming 4.56 and 4.88 are in play given that’s what I compared when retesting thr 4.7 in the 4R. That will probably have to wait a bit down the line as well…time to bust out the old gear ratio calculator again! For brakes I’m assuming doing the 2016+ bits when the time comes to replace that stuff?

Good info on the spare here - I had a bumper/carrier on the 4R and now an interior carrier on the 80 (which I actually prefer) but for the 200 I’m looking to preserve as much interior/cargo area as possible as it will be more of the family people mover most of the time. To that end - maybe the more rational/practical move is to try 285/75R17 instead and limit it to around 34.1 since I’m allegedly trying to keep it simple. Is that size about the same amount of work to make fit correctly?

Anyway, I appreciate the response! I’ve been lurking your 570 threads for a bit during my search for a LX/200, I think you’ve sold me on trying a AHC centric build.

4.88's are good for 35's. I went with 4.88's and with 33" tires the engine revs too much at highway speeds. 2013 200 Series

Another option for the 0 offsetters. Nomad 504. They used my ratty high mileage 200 for a photo shoot. I’m not a black wheel guy to be honest.

Let’s go even further. The same wheels allow and old school hub cap to be run. Honestly, it wasn’t my favorite…but it’s growing on me. Enough so that I haven’t taken them off due to being lazy in the winter. It gives a flex dream vibe. Or a kzj95 vibe. Idk. Again 0 offset, tires kenda 35x10.5r17

Again 0 offset, tires kenda 35x10.5r17

Do you have a side profile shot to show the poke with 35x10.50 on either of those 0 offset setups?

I don't but they do not exceed the fender.

Another combo to add: Evo Corse 18” et45 with 275/65 R18 Falken AT4W’s SL. I wanted a softer and more rugged looking setup than the stock 21’s. Also needed better snow traction for commuting. No rubbing or need for plastic adjustments. The rake looks a bit aggressive but she’s parked on a bit of a downhill angle.

These would probably look good in white or silver if someone was going for the base model look

as someone who worked hard to go for base model UN look on a wrong color 200 (you can see my thread) - I was going to get those wheels

but after talking to @TeCKis300 and other more knowledgeable members, no way I am running +0 on my truck

Zero offset wheels, the absolute devil. Only thing worse I can imagine is still having original head gaskets

They come in +35 offset as well.

Dang.. that’s the first Nomad wheel I’ve seen for the 200 that wasn’t 0 offset. Maybe they will do some of their other offerings at that offset. Be perfect for folks wanting to go with 34-35s.

Given you are in Chicago, you must be related to the Car Care Nut

Yup when I talked to them, they told me they would have better offsets later. of course being an instat gratification MMMMMMERICAN, I wasn't going to wait a year for my POS 200 to get wheels. I needed it NOW

I think the Nomad Convoy is offered in a +25 offset now too

Another user of the above mentioned Kenda Klever R/T 35x10.5R17(LT) on Icon 25mm wheels.

 

[Drift Monkey]

All this to say I’d like to keep my (near future) LX much simpler.

I guess my wish was granted (for now). My new to me LX came with 5x +35 Method 703s w/285/70R17 Kenda R/Ts. Works for me (for now anyway )!

Tire shopping, more like browsing as I'm in no hurry. As much as I like monster truck tires, the reality is that I'm 99.9% driving on streets. I'd like something semi all terrain or at least with some kind of tread above a generic all season vanilla tire. You know, for the off-roadin' cred...

I had BFG Trail Terrain's on my old LR3 that were okay but felt a little squishy on the highway. They're cheap which is good but I kinda feel like something different. Preferably I'd like to spend 250-300/per maximum. Current tires are worn down K02's. Noisy but I could probably squeeze a few thousand more miles out of them.

bang 4 buck recommendations?

I had real good luck with Falcon Wildpeaks ATWs 285/70 LT ON 17” wheels 25 offset.
