Are you telling me peps are upgrading to an 85 and gaining an 1 1/2 height?  |
Not quite Tony. LeftOverParts was referring to the Sailun 235/
85/R16 tire not a 255! The 235 size tire comes in two aspect rations - 80 and 85. The 85 is 1" taller (which actually means 1/2" less clearance in the wheel wells - not a problem) than the 80 and has a higher load capacity.
The 255's will not fit well in the wheel wells (well they will until the first good pothole).
