Chevy & GMC Vans

Hello been a while since I posted, van running great and getting ready to change tires. First I was thinking of lifting slightly, but now think it will be ok if I could put taller bigger tires i.e. 5x5 jeep wheels with 255/70 R 18 tires.. will that work on a 2001 AWD . Mostly Traveler/ AWD used to get to fishing locations, no rock climbing, we have no rocks in Louisiana just oyster shells..

You should probably read the sticky posts at the top of the offroad and tire sub-forums.

255/70-18 is a 32" tire. So, no, that's not going to fit on a 2001 AWD without a BIG lift and LOTS of trimming of bodywork.

ok will 245/75/16 tires on 5 x 5 Jeep rims work without lifting? should i just forget and go back to 15s? really would like to go to 16s though.

No, again.

ok ok Thanks just going back to 15's thanks for your definitive answer.

245/75-16 = 30.5in tire

Again, see the stickies. Big lift, some cutting would be needed.

You can use the 16's, just use a 215 or 225/70R16 tire with no lift. If you wanted, you could go to a 235/70R16 with a little torsion bar lifting up front and possibly a little light trimming if they hit. The 235's are a 29" tall tire...the max to fit with no lift and minimal trimming.

Ok so 2014 Jeep Wrangler Tires & rims include sensors. Specs: 225/75 R 16 8.86x29.3 - should fit and wheels should bolt on eh?
