kind of odd but i found in on
www.tirerack.com
thats 3/4 of an inch differance.
check for yourself's
yes my point is the 255 is smaller than the 245
I CHECKED FOR M
YSELFhttp://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.htmlA 245/30/22 IS 27.8" TALLA 255/30/22 IS 28", i'M NOT SURE WHAT MATH WAS DONE TO MAY YOU THINK A 255/30 WAS SMALLER.
BIGGJ'S TRUCK HAD ALL THE STOCK SUSPENSION ON IT, BUT NARROWED ONE INCH. THE STOCK CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER WAS MOVED UP UNDER THE DASH. THE ONLY REAL TURNING ISSUES THAT CAME UP WHERE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE CAUSE THE STEERING GEAR IS MOUNTED ON THE OUT SIDE OF THE FRAME. BUT THE TRUCK STILL DROVE. AND IT WAS A 245/35/20 ON J'S TRUCK @ 26.8 INCHES TALL ANNNNNNNNNDDDDDDD THE TOP OF THE HOOD WAS TUB SO IT WOULDNT RUB. SO IN MY OPINION A 22 WONT FIT WITH CUT ROCKERS. MAYBE TO THE PINCH. THATS JUST WHAT THE MATH TELLS ME. THE PICS OF D.I.B.'S MAZDA LOOKS DOPE AS HELL. IT "LOOKS" LIKE THE FRONT OF THE ROCKER IS OFF THE GROUND. THE NISSAN CAME OUT EXCELLENT, AND I'M SURE THE MAZDA WILL BE JUST AS SWEET. MY EXPIERENCE SAID IT CANT BE DONE, THE MATH SAYS IT CANT BE DONE, BUT MY OPINION IS NOTHING IS IMPOSSABLE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.....
the differance is in the brand the MICHELLIN PS2 255/30/22 is 27" all according to michellin.
less than 1/4" differance.
i also think BIGGJ'S about 1" past the pinch .correct me if i'm wrong jerry.
