Detailed tire and wheel breakdown for the 1999 Lincoln Navigator

Tire geometry — 255/75R16

The 255/75R16 fitted to the 1999 Lincoln Navigator has a section width of 255mm and an aspect ratio of 75%, mounted on a 16-inch rim. That gives a sidewall height of 191.3mm (7.53") and an overall outside diameter of 788.9mm (31.06"). At highway speed this tire completes roughly 403 revolutions per kilometre, which is what your speedometer and odometer are calibrated against.

Plus-sizing window

If you want to upsize wheels on the 1999 Lincoln Navigator while keeping the speedometer accurate, target a 265/67R17 (plus-one). For a softer ride or winter setup, a 245/83R15 (minus-one) keeps the overall diameter within Âą3% of stock, which is the industry tolerance for ABS and stability control to stay calibrated.

Wheel fitment specs

The 1999 Lincoln Navigator uses a 5x135 bolt pattern with a 87.1mm hub bore. Safe rim width range for the OEM tire is 6.5J – 7.5J, and offsets in the ET9 – ET19 window will clear suspension and fender without rubbing on most setups.

Tire pressure guidance

Manufacturer-recommended cold tire pressure for the 1999 Lincoln Navigator is printed on the driver-side door jamb sticker — always defer to that value, not to the maximum pressure printed on the tire sidewall. Check pressure monthly and before long trips; under-inflation by 20% can reduce tread life by 25%.
