I admit I know crap about wheels and tires. I'm not quite sure what numbers I am looking for as I shop around for new tires and/or wheels.

I currently have the stock 18inch upgraded wheels on my Sahara 4dr. I would rather keep them and add a budget lift and new tires. I'm lame and like the looks of the Dick Cepek Crusher tires because they have skulls on the outer edges.

But this page doesn't show 18inch rim sizes. Everything but. Do they make this tire for 18 inch rims or would I have to get new rims to use them?

Not all websites are like Quadratec and list rims and tire sizes. When I see LT305/65R17, I assume the 17 at the end means 17" wheels, but how do you get that it's a 33" tire our of that? Forgive the newbie questions....

 

try rims-n-tires.com they have a tire calculator which you can put your tire size and then compare with the size you may want to add. it shows a side by side comparison and measurements

 

Google is your friend. :-) You should get familiar with the meaning of tire sizes and wheel backspacing. Also remember that manufacturers list a min/max wheel width for each tire size, so make sure your wheel width is ok.

Here's a fun little calculator that allows you to compare new wheel/tire combos with your existing setup:

FYI, in case you didn't notice, the lugs are also shaped like bones. As far as checking on sizes, you can always go the the manufactuer's web site to see what sizes a tire is available in.
