Metric Tire Conversion?
 
So Im currently running 16" Moab's on my 2000. They look great, and plan to keep them when I get my lift. Im looking to run 32-33's on 4.5-5"s of lift. Im just a bit confused about how to determine the actual standard size of a tire. I Found the below calculator... entered the metric size of the tire i would like to run and this is what I get 285/75/16 = 32.8x11.2/16. So is that really a 33x11.5? Do you just round up? and if so, is that too big for 4.5-5 in lift?

The next metric size down is 265/75/16 = 31.6x10.4/16 and if my logic is correct, this would be a 32. Any thoughts or advise would be great :thumbsup:

here is the calculator i found:

tire-size-conversion.com/tire-size-calculator is great. They also have a speedometer calibration calculator and one that converts metric tire sizes to a different wheel size.
