For tyre sizes do you understand what all numbers mean? I've described them below just in case you don't.
If your changing tyre width you need to adjust the side wall size. Changing the rim size will also need the same adjustment. Generally a narrower tyre will need a taller side wall to keep the wheel size correct. The wrong tyre size will affect your speedo reading and affect the handling and grip of the vehicle.
To drop to a 16 inch rim the 225/55R17 would have to be either a 255/50R16 or a 215/60R16.
To go up in rim size the 195/70R16 would have to be a 255/45R17 or a 285/40R17.
Using the 225/55R17 - 6.5J x17 as an example.
Tyre size.
- 225 is the width of the tread on the tyre in mm.
- /55 is the side wall measurement as a percentage.
- R is the tyre is a 'Radial' construction type.
- 17 is the rim diameter in inches.
Rim details.
- 6.5 is the width of the rim between the points where the tyre attaches to the rim.
- J is the code for the shape of the seal edge.
- 17 is the rim diameter in inches.
Tire diameter can vary slightly for each tire model. When changing tire sizes, we recommend staying within 3% of the diameter/height of the original tire. Any more than this and you face the risk of brake failure. I suggest to check this link: TireSizeCalculator
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
the GMC wheels won't work on the Dodge nor will the Dodge wheels work on the GMC. if the tires are the same size,i.e, P215/75R15 or P215/70R15, then you can have the tires mounted on the Dodge wheels.
One of the tire pressure sensors may have been incorrectly installed or there may be a problem with this systems control module.
I recommend you bring it back to the shop that sold you the tires and tell them the problem.
Remember 2008 is still under warranty ( if milage is applicable)
You can replace, but not mix. All the tires on the car needs to be the same size for traction control and ABS system. Having two different size tires on the car will cause problems. Just keep them all at the same size P215/60R15 or P205/65R15 only.
