ok i was playing around with the tire and gear calculators cuz im thinking of getting a bigger tire...few questions
ok now i have 215/75R14 (about 26.6 i think it said)...i wanna go for about 30 and i think i can get some 16' rims from an chevy for cheap... can i do this? will i have to change gear ratios and stuff or can i just slap them on there? if i have to change gear ratios, how hard is this to do and is there some DIY post that i can follow? oh and how do i find out my current gear ratio? and if it helps...i have a 95 HB V6 2wd..all stock |

Check the plate on the upper right of the firewall or maybe on the fender by the antenna mast. There should be a code on it. what is the overall size of tire you want to run, 30's may fit with trimming depending on offset.

Don't worry about gears.
 But you will feel a difference in performance.I'm not sure if Chevy has the same bolt pattern. Better try and test fit them. Will   |

I had 30s on my old 2wd....it was 4cyl and I never had a problem or felt I needed a gear change. It would tow my tent trailer with no problems. Now I did have a 3 inch BL so that helped the fit, I dont know how well they would fit with out one.
Heres an old pic of it with the 30x9.5r15.

i wouldnt worry about gear and stuff but remember...everything i do goes through my dad first..so to go bigger i either have to convince him that it wont make that much of a diffrence or actually change the ratios..are they hard? does a shop need to to that or something or do i need to buy something really expensive?
also..how wide can i go? how do i know how wide are the ones i have now? |

The tires you have now are 215mm wide, which aint very wide.

If someone has the gears, you are looking at over a grand installed. About 600-800 just for the gears. unless you can set gear back lash yourself youll need a shop to do it. No gear change will be needed to just go to 30s.

do you know how much it will affect my mileage? i dont mind a 2-3 mpg drop, but if its more than 5 mpg then i prolly will just stick to my current size...
