My ford explorer stock rims are designed for a 235/70/16 tire. Would it be possible to put a bigger tire on the same wheels I have now?Can I put bigger tires on my SUV with same wheels?
Your can put bigger / wider tires on the same rims. I went up a couple of sizes on my with no problem. If you get too big you will have a problem with wearing the center of the tire out and you also have to watch and make sure that you are not going to rub a fender or the fire wall when you install them. There are limits on everything so who ever put the tires on for you have them check to make sure everything is clear.Can I put bigger tires on my SUV with same wheels?
You can but double check whether or not you have ABS. Most ABS systems have a 5% margin of error built in and can get screwy with a different tire size than what they're calibrated for.
Changing the diameter of the tire will also change your speedometer reading (larger tires read slower than actually traveling since they take fewer revolutions to cover the same distance).Can I put bigger tires on my SUV with same wheels?
as long as they're 16"
