Are you asking if the wheels will fit a 23i or if your current tyres will switch off existing wheels onto those rims?

How about wheel diameter?

17” or 22” inch might affect the answer :P

Yes they will fit fine.
I would fit
235-35-19 front tyres 33/34psi
255-35-19 rears 34/36psi
Others may disagree but that set up works :thumbsup:

Is there any benefit to running 225 40 19 on the front? Always wondered what swayed the decision between that and 235 35 19.
