Converting Metric Tire sizes to Inches.

[MechPatt587]

Here's a small project I worked on last month. I figure it might be good info for some people to know.

Hope some people find this helpful in some way.

So, could someone smarter than me convert 32x11.50x15s to metric? Don't really want to buy metric, but hey...it won't hurt to compare prices.

11.5" is about 285 mm

Ironically, in 15" rims sizes, you'd just GET a 32x11.5/15 and call it a day.



285/75/15 would be the equivalent through.

What sized rims do you have, and, are you planning on keeping them for new tires?

The RIMS don't have to be "Metric"....but, even the METRIC tires are made for a rim of so many INCHES....like 15", 16", 17", etc. (YES, they DO mix in inches with the metric "sizes"...because they hate you)

I've got factory 16s but I'd like a set of 15s. I can't seem to find the tires I want in Standard sizes, and I'm not sure what the metric sizes are to know what width and height I want.
