new tire pics--opinions needed
Maybe 3 months ago I put the 10" rallies on the rear and and a 295/50 tire. On the front 8" rallies there were 235/60. I thought that they looked good and wide from certain angles but just couldn't convince myself that they were tall enough. This is what it looked like.
Unflattering angle ![]() Flattering angle ![]() So to fix this, yesterday, I got those pulled off and put on 255/60 on the front and 275/60 on the 10" rear. I did this after looking at alot of pics and just out of a lack of choice--since though people claim they are out there, after exhausting all ideas-I haven't found a tire available that is as tall as and wider than a 275/60. Atleast not an true street tire-not a soft compound street legal drap tire. This is what it looks like now: ![]() It looks better from the side, but... ![]() ![]() ![]() I am far from satisfied with this setup too. The rear tires, as you can see really don't fill the 10" wheels. I posted this because it seems like there has been alot of questions about 10" rally wheels lately. Also to see, what do you think? Could these Cooper tires run small? I have seen, what feels like many times, 275/60 BFGs Radial T/As look much better than this on a 10" rim. I've almost convinced myself that these Coopers just run smaller. Tell me what you think. And by all means tell me if I'm just crazy. I'm so disgusted right now that whatever I do(different size rear wheels or different brand tires, or if somebody can show me a different sized street tire)--these aren't staying. But don't feel too sorry for me-I'm not eating these tires. The 295/50 with 235/60 are going on the Buick(hence the aluminum wheel widening thread). And this current 255/60 275/60 be perfect for the staggered 7" and 8" setup going on the GMC. Thanks in advance. And I'm sorry all my posts read like novels.
