It should be 34" or so.

A 9.0 R16 would break down like this

9.0 is the distance from the carcass tread to the bead, then you need to double is (half of the distance is below the rim, the other half on top), so 18"

Then, you need to add the rim diameter, which is 16"

9.0 + 9.0 + 16 = 34"

But, measured height and actual height can be very different. Has anyone here measured the 9.0 R 16 XZL?

You might be thinking of the 11 R 16 XZL, which is around 37-38" tall.
Hmmm, well here are the specs from Michelin for the 9.00 R 16 XZL.
Load range=D
Loaded Radius=20"
Overall Diameter=36.4"
Overall width=9.9"
Tread Depth 32nds=20
Max speed=62mph

Got any pics of the new wheels on the Taco yet? I love the Mojave's just not to certain on how the "D" holes will look, but I think it will look just sick!

So, are you ever going to let me do a mod first, or do I always have to be in the shadow of the greatest Taco ever?

Balancing and rotating mass. These wheels are in the AR premium line and have excellent roundness tolerances. I have had issues with my steel wheels balancing.


Funny you mention that...I was just going to ask you about why you choose the steelies in the first place. Especially considering the added unsprung and rolling resistance.

:victory:

BTW...Nice wheels

Apple ; )

Yeah, we are looking at them right now. For image work, layout and design and video processing, that is the best option. We really need one of those.

For me and the rugged laptop can only be a PC
