where should I look for tires and wheels.
what size would be appropriate if i dont want a lift kit installed.
i want the tires to be more rugged looking than what comes stock.1999 Jeep Cheerokee, thinking about new tires and wheels?
Most jeeps can go up to 31x10.5 pretty easy without any mods. Most of your normal tire places don't carry the "rugged" treads. In most cases, these can be mounted on to the stock rims saving you a little. The tires will run around $125 plus shipping. The drawback is you will go from getting 60-80K miles to about 40K. Again, depending on what your intentions are, you may be better off with all terrain tires. If you do any off roading, the mud terrains are really nice, but you can always let the air pressure out of your stock tires and climb / go through just about anything. Might also look at getting a winch for the front end.1999 Jeep Cheerokee, thinking about new tires and wheels?
You will rub with 31"s on an XJ (Cherokee). You can get away with 30"s depending on how much your stock suspension has sagged. My 93 has 30"s and I can't get them to rub. But I have talked to people who have 235s on thiers and they almost rub.
There are alot of tires places.. Tire Rack, Discount Tire Direct, even Walmart sells tires. As far as wheels again, Tire Rack, Discount, most all of your tire centers also sell wheels.. You can however, run 30x9.50x15s on your stock wheels.

How to calculate curb-to-curb turning radius of a 3-wheels car (2 front tires, rear wheel drive)?
Turning wheels are the front. If overhangs front %26amp; rear body counts, let me know. TQ =)How to calculate curb-to-curb turning radius of a 3-wheels car (2 front tires, rear wheel drive)?

Lowering springs or wide tires and wheels?
I'm starting autocross this season and i have some extra money to get some upgrades for my car but I'm not sure what to get. I have konig rims currently on my car but I would like to keep them for show. My two options are either getting another set of wheels I could use that are nice and wide or get lowering springs and use my steel wheels. I have a hyundai that is decently low to the ground and takes tunrs pretty well stock. Which would work better for me?Lowering springs or wide tires and wheels?
First off, as someone who has been autocrossing for 20 years and been teaching autocross skills to novice drivers for the last dozen years in our car clubs schools I can not stress enough that if you are just starting out and your car is sound DON'T SPEND ANY MONEY ON IT.
Autocross is 95% driver and 5% car. Improve the former, not the latter.
Learn how to drive the thing first, then you can consider changing it based on what you learned driving it. If you are going to spend money on the car anyway no matter what I say the thing that will actually improve times dramatically is tires. Tires can take seconds off your runs. Everything else takes fractions of seconds off your run times. But before you buy tires figure out what class you are going to run in. For the last 8 years I have run in Stock class because that is where the vast majority of the really good drivers run. Modifications in stock class are very limited - basically any tire that will fit on a stock size wheel (the wheels themselves need not be stock, just the same width and diameter as stock) without modifying the fenders. The difference in times on a nominal 60-second course between my car with its original 215/45VR17 Continental Sport Contacts and the 225/45R17 91W Kuhmo Ecsta V710 street legal competition tires I use for autocross is probably about 3 seconds. That's huge. You don't get that kind of improvement from any other modification.
If you end up like those people who come to each event with a different mod on their car you will always be chasing the car istead of learning how to drive it properly since you won't have the same car from event to event.Lowering springs or wide tires and wheels?
light weight wheel and sticky tires with a stiff sidewall will improve handling much more than springs.
I would only get springs if you are doing the whole suspension. springs and shocks/dampers

What is the best combination of wheels and tires?
for a 2003 ford f-150 supercrew cab with a 2 inch suspension lift?What is the best combination of wheels and tires?
That is up to you, I only run mud tires 35x12.50x16 on my trucks with a 4" lift and american raceing type 058 wheels.
Nothing below 22". doesnt matter what tyres you get because youll have 22sWhat is the best combination of wheels and tires?
No such thing as "best"
There's personal preference, but that's all.
And I'm sure you'll get several people suggesting certain combos....but it still depends on your personal preference.
Nothing smaller than 28's.........cool rider.....What is the best combination of wheels and tires?
Change the size and mess up (void) your engine and drive train warranties. I suggest a nice looking wheel that is not a high theft item and a good all season radial for comfort and good wear.

Can I put 17" wheels/tires on my 06 Silverado which came with 20" wheels?
If the total diameter of the 17" wheel and tire is equal to the total diameter of the 20" wheel and tire will it mess up my computer-transmission interface? Can I get the computer change? Will this kill my warranty?Can I put 17" wheels/tires on my 06 Silverado which came with 20" wheels?
The 20-inch wheels are according to my sources a dealer installed option on the half-ton 06' Silverado. The OE size should be on the door placard on the drivers side door frame and is probably one of several 17-inch sizes. If so then yes, you can switch to 17's.
If its a 4x4 the OE size was probably P265/70R17 at 30 psi front and rear. If 4x2 then it might be P245/70R17 instead at 35 psi front and rear.
If your truck is a 3/4 or 1-ton then you need to use the appropriate LT-Metric tire size and inflation.

as long as the diameter of the tire is the same it will not change anything. it probley wont ride a good but it wont hurt anything.Can I put 17" wheels/tires on my 06 Silverado which came with 20" wheels?
yes u can change the wheeles .and not have to worry about the computer or warranty.the weeles don't bother that stuff
only thing that will effect the compputer or warranty is engine service or tranny other than the dealer
You have to remember that although its the same diameter, it has to clear the rotor diameter and clear the caliper. There wont be any change to the ecu whatsoever since your rotational circumference is still the same. technically going from a 17 inch to a 20 inch tire with the same diameter is known as plus sizing.

Theres a noise comes out from the wheels when tires are in motion.?
The noise comes out only when the truck is in motion...Rotors and CV boots been replaced, wheel bearings are good, The noise sounds like bells, is driving me crazy..My ABS/BRAKE light is on, you think this is related what else it could be?Theres a noise comes out from the wheels when tires are in motion.?
you need to take it to a shop ,anytime the abs and the main brake lights both come on at the same time that's a warning that there's a problem with the abs system on it,i have heard weird sounds come from one before but never anything that sounded like bells before,have a shop check it because both lights indicates a problem in the abs system on it,or a sensor going out on it,the sound your hearing may be the warning chime on it indicating there is malfunction in the system i have heard that before,good luckTheres a noise comes out from the wheels when tires are in motion.?
Now i start it to worry, like i said i replaced the rear speed sensor but the light still on, Im not so sure if i had to disconnect the negative battery cable before i start this job.
I took my truck to the shop today and we found a Oh oh!!.There was no communication between the diagnosis machine and the computer, the mechanic refered me to the electric shop to figure out what or why this is happening, may be a shot in the wiring System, Brakes were good so at least we know this.

Its your Abs sensors or your brakes could be rubbing on your rotorsTheres a noise comes out from the wheels when tires are in motion.?
I replaced the speed sensor located in the differential but lights still on..Thank you for youre advice, ill check the sensor on each wheel and my brakes must be due.
could be your calipers not releasing and grinding against the rotars. It just happen to me. I got em replaced about a week ago
