Wheels and Tires

[RMarlar]

Does anyone know what wheel and tire size options are going to be available for new truck?

If I rember correctly

235R75-17, with 265R75-17 as an option on 2500s.

final ratio

I tried to compute this, but it made my head hurt. 2002 standard diff ratio is 3:54 with 16 inch wheels. 2003 standard is 3:73 with 17 inch wheels. Assuming a 2002 shows 2000 RPM at 68 miles per hour, what would be the RPM for a 2003 at the same speed?



Thanks for an answer.

The 3500 dually that made the auto show rounds was wearing LT235/80R17E rubber. No difference in height between that and the 2002's LT235/85R16E, just a one inch wider hole in the middle.



If you're turning 2000rpm with 3. 54s, you'll be at 2100 with 3. 73s.
