[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 491351, member: 12995"] I went from the 4.8 x 12 tires to the 5.3 x 12 and that's going from around a 20.7" tire to a 21.9" tire which gives a little extra height and reduces the rpm's it's turning at. I don't think you need to change the hub for the 13" wheel if the bolt pattern stays the same as the 12" wheel. I think most 12" are 4.5" bolt pattern (for the 5 lug wheels) so as long as the 13" wheel has the same bolt pattern you should be ok. If you have the 4 bolt lug wheels it looks like they are the 4" bolt pattern and there are some 13" wheels in that pattern as well. Going to a 13" tire gives you options for around a 24-25" tall tire. [/QUOTE]
