I was in Birmingham at the Power Tour when He finally made it, maybe next time. Old ones were 29x15.5, new ones are 31x16, :metal:.

any issues with the new ones rubbing the top of the tub??? I have that with the 31's?? How wide are they?? how is the handling ??

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

I have the wide rearend, if you have some weight in the and hit a hard bump they rub just a little. I'm going to build a 67-70 rear and then it should be perfect.

yea looks kool but I think if you want to get a good tuck to get the truck level your going to have to raise your tubs...like I said mine looks sweet with 29's on it but the 31's are a bit tall..you can see here ( its laid out) its still a bit high and the rubber is hitting the top of the tub with about 1/2" before the axle bottoms out to the stops..between that and the added height of the tire I'm not sure I like it??/ But it seems like the 31's are easier to come by used??? If I have to but new it will be back to the 29's and to a radial.....but like I said the tire wear is unreal...and its not because I'm being hard on them I think its just the amount of miles I drive...beig a DD is tough..an example is that tomorrow I'm heading to Laconia for bike week and that will be a quick 200 miles on them?? My bonnie trip was over 300 a trip into town will run 40 miles....but I'll be dam'd if I'm not going to drive the hell out of it...I may have to step back to the 70's ( YEK!!) for my DD stuff and save the tires for show'n tell

I don't plan on lowering it much more. I am going to build a new rear axle that will give me plenty of clearance.....;), :D.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

how do they compair to the old tires?? is the ride/handling better??

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

Once I got the air pressure set correctly, they rode great. I drove it 500 miles Thurs and Fri running 70-75 and the handling and ride was really nice. So compared to the other tires, night and day. The lack of a/c on the other hand.......:waah:, :D.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!

Nice truck

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

:agree:

Since this thread is about Fat Tires, tell us what the tire and wheel combo is. They look like Hoosiers to me, but what size? Does your Dad have a build thread?

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

Yep they're hoosiers, they are 31x18.5/15, stock truck rallyes with about 12 3/4in of backspacing. No build thread though.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

Kevin,
The pics you posted of the gold/white '66 look cool. Which track was this truck running at? And do you know any other details about it?

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

It was at my local track in Montgomery, Alabama. Those pics are a little old they were on a computer that died. I probably took them 2 or 3 years ago.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

i know that pirelli makes a 405 series tire on a 24" rim that looks nasty, but i was wondering what is the widest tires i can get on a 22" rim?

the 405 is about 32" tall i believe. i know i don't want nothing any taller than that.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

Keep in mind that Our trucks ( 67.72) lay out best with no more than a 29" tire with a 2 1/2" C notch...I'm running the 31x15x15 and they rub the top of the tubs by ( guess??? ) you bet 2"...1" of tire and 1" of C notch??? I have another set but I guess as long as I can buy them cheap and they don't last long I'll deal with the rubbing

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

pepin
those are exactly the look that i'm after. in fact, i have youtube vid's of paco's blue truck saved (or one that looks exactly like that). are u saying that they have pirelli's 405 on the 24x12 and the 14?

hottrucks
i'm on 29x15x15's now. i don't really want to go any taller for that reason, but i do want the look of bigger rims. i'm hoping i can find that look on a 22" rim, but if i can't... i'll just make the 405 fit.


what are they doin for the suspension? i don't see how they prevent those tires from rubbing the fender, cuz it don't look like they tuck up in there at all on some of them.

Re: Pro Street Trucks/Cars pics!!! im in love with the fatty tires!!
 

i know the four door has 405 25 24 tires on 24x12 wheels not sure on the brand though.as far as suspension i read on another forum that he relocates the leafs,maybe to the inside of the frame i dont know.and yeah the blue truck is pacos and is nasty.has a built ls7 with nitrous it dynoed like 8 something to the wheels all motor earlier this year dont know about now.
