khaas Posted June 30, 2024 Looking to downsize to a 16 inch rim for a smaller tire size (our van is about 3 inches too tall to fit in our garage) but still need the 10 ply tires. We have searched for a smaller profile 17 inch tire that is still at least a 10 ply tire, but they do not exist. So now we are looking into going to a 16 inch rim where we have a lot more tire options. Has anyone had any similiar issues/experiences? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crusty Posted July 4, 2024 Watch clearance to the brake calipers. Pretty sure the rear brakes have less clearance than the fronts. I pulled the overload leaf out and installed airbags to get the height down to squeeze into my old garage. New house got the 8' garage door option and is no longer an issue. I've also known people who have had the garage door header raised. Smaller tire will start playing with overall effective gearing, speedometer, odometer, etc. 3" too tall to fit a garage means 6" of tire height. I don't see how you are going to get that to work. 1 radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
