32QBBS New wheels and tires

I did it. Finally after year or two of pondering, I installed 16 inch wheels and tires. The wheels are Alcoa and the tires are 225/75/16. The one concern I have is under the kitchen slide-out side is a bar that rotates. The clearance is about 1 ¼ or so inches…I don’t think it will be a problem.

I will say the peace of mind is much better with these tires and wheels. I have a couple of pictures, but not real sure how to upload to this website.

What brand tires did you get?

The tires are Michelin.

Place and part #'s for the rims and tires please. Thanks

As far as tire size goes you should be fine. My 09 32QBBS came from the factory with 235/80/16 load range E's on 16x6 aluminum rims.

I was wondering if 235/85/16 BF Goodrich commercial T/A Load E on 2008 32QBBS will have any clearance issues?

Thanks in advance

I found this cool tire size calculator http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

But the question still is, will 235/85/16 BF Goodrich commercial T/A Load E on 2008 32QBBS have any clearance issues?

Well, I went for it and put the 235/85/16 BF Goodrich commercial T/A Load E with new rims, WOW, these things have some meat on them compared to the 15" DURO's I had. The 15" rims and tires made it look like I had training wheels compared to these. There is no clearance issues...just need to jack the trailer up higher to put them on. I full confidence that I will have no problems on our 3000 mile trip in a few weeks.

As soon as I can get around to it new tires will be the next wildcat mod. I will be getting the 238/85/16 BFG commercial T/A's as well. Have you towed your cat with them yet? Curious to know if there is any noticeable difference.

Had 16 inch rims on mine from factor. Never any clearance problems. I bought BCT JK42 HI-RUN Trailer only tires from my dealer. There are ST 235/85R16's. Also had them balanced for better life. Load range F or 10 ply. Lot better than the 6 ply I got with the trailer.

Wondering what rims you bought. May change my factory ones.
