The stance is looking a little better
I finally got the 325/50's on the back about a week ago and took the top off. It's a nice time of year to pop the cap off the K5's. I've almost got the stance nailed, I'm going to pull a leaf or two from the rear to dial it in. I want to keep some rake. Anyway, here's a few pics of how it's sitting now.

Re: The stance is looking a little better
Yeah, they're BFG Drag Radials. I sent a couple of inquiries on BFGoodrich's website to see if they'd make 325/50-15's in their Radial TA tire, but they told me their market studies said the demand wasn't there. So I had to get the drag radials to get the size I want. As it turns out, they'll come in handy when the motor is done and in. They are 28" tall, just like the 275/60's up front. The truck has 15x10's all the way around.

Re: The stance is looking a little better
nice! just the look im looking for on the back of my c10. look like you going to have any rubbing issues against the wheel openng once you drop it? id lke to go about 3" lower than your truck in back, was worried about rubbing. also, are your wheels 15x10 with a 5" backspacing? good refernece for me, the chroe smoothies im looking into have a 5" bs.

Re: The stance is looking a little better
Thanks! The wheels have 4.5" back-spacing. But I never intended them to "tuck". I like to get the wheel/tire combo dialed in, then just close the fender to tire gap so the car/truck sits over the tires nicely. A little bit of rake will help it keep the hot rod truck look that I want.

Re: The stance is looking a little better
Can i get a pic from the front of the tires in the straight pos. I would like to see how the 10" fit the front. I really like the fat tire look! Very cool blazer!

Re: The stance is looking a little better
Thanks for the compliments, and it's good to hear from a fellow fat tire lover! I'll be working on it this weekend and will get a few pictures for you and post them.

Re: The stance is looking a little better
You think the 325/50's would fit up front without any rubbing?

Re: The stance is looking a little better
I appreciate the compliments. The trucks here seem to tend toward 18 and 20" rims with much more exotic suspensions than my simple lowering setup over 15's so I appreciate the compliments, and must admit to being surprised since my truck suspension is really simpleton stuff. Thanks again for the compliments.
Well, maybe, but only if the truck wasn't lowered any but they'd stick out of the front wheel-wells a good bit and you don't really want drag radial on the front. |

Re: The stance is looking a little better
Hey Bruiser do you by any chance have any pics of the tread on those drag radials. Just want to see how much tread they actually have. Thanks.

Not much "tread" but a lot of tire. Just what you have to live with with a drag radial. |
