the front tires should be fine. the rears you can easily stick to 225/55/16's basically the setup is perfect (except for that random 245 lol) put it this way, our trucks are pretty light, and the brakes are plenty strong. 3% isn't going to make a BIG difference... but say if you drove a 6500lb SUV, 3% is gunna do alot lol
bought them off a guy who had a widebody 240sx, they are 15x10 aluminum solids. i polished em up and painted the solid center black. i stretched the tires off my black 15x7's on there. more pics if u guys want
Oh man your truck brings back memories i had 15x10s back in the day with stretched tires what do you have 205/50s?
Stihl- Yeah we want more pics! throw them up! really interested in if you are getting any rub on the front fender. How low are you?
glad u guys like it so far. lol ill take some right now, i have 3inch block and full torsion with toxic shocks (fronts r close to blown) i want to go way lower to fit the wheels to the fender with some 1.5inch flares. right now i have no rubbing while drivin on the streets but parking lot 90's @full lock itll rub a little.
What are you going to use for flares/fenders... stock 4wd fenders or do you have something else in mind?
for now i looked at some 1.5inch bushwacker flares but on one of the other threads there was a link to like trailer products or something- i looked at some fiberglass 2inch widebody fenders and quarters they make so i can fit wide 17's next year.
you want to drop a link to the thread on the trailer fenders if you have it? Also... this may be a general question: If you poke on one of these trucks...what is the largest diameter tire you can have with out the edge of your fender eating tire tread? I want a little bit of poke and don't want to hit a bump and chew up tire.
itll really depend on ur drop, how low? what size tire would u want to run (sidewall) stretch or no stretch? mine are something around -28 offset something like 3inch backspacing.a nice fit would be 8inch or 8.5inch w/-10ish offset. i rolled my fender a little with a bat and it was really only for u-turns and full lock turning. the widebody fenders are on a thread on the site somewhere
well i have no drop. have a set of 15x8.5's with 3.75 backspace. I live in Kansas...so there wont be a shop within 30 miles that would stretch a thing. so I am thinking 215/55's? 225/50? I want to retain some ride quality so I am looking for 2 inch blocks in the rear and then just enough in the front to make it look even. http://www.toyotaminis.com/forum/wheels-tires-70/new-member-15x7-15x8-9857/index7.html my truck is here.
my 205/50's have a great ride quality, low pro enough to handle n look good while still protecting my rim. should look perfect with 8.5inch rim
i'm picking up some mitsubishi starion wheels tomorrow. anyone else running these that has any suggestions on tire size to run? they have tires on them but i have no idea what size...
here they are. picked these up for $200 with the tires. thank god for craigslist! tires have about half tread and are 245-45-16 rear and 205-55-16 front... going on my beater.
yeah thats def the plan for the time being. just wanted to know if anyone else had these and knew the optimal size for good fitment.
