What size tire on an 18" rim would be equal in heigth to my stock (5 lug) 15" tires (I know the tires themselves aren't 15"...)? Even a little taller would be fine. Untill this thing is no longer a worktruck, I can't lower it, and the little bit of extra ground clearance wouldn't hurt, for now...
Thanks!

I believe if your tires say something like 245/60/15 (yours is different) The first number (245) should be the height of the tire. So going with an 18" rim would probably look like this 245/40/18. Dont quote me on that.

You've been quoted, LOL... I was always told that the first # (235, 245, etc) is the width, and the second # (40, 50, 60, etc) was the ratio of the heigth to the width, or a confusing way of putting the heigth as a number...
Basically, I picked up some XR rims, and want tires the same height, or slightly taller, than what I have now.
