staggerd86c-10 · 03-03-2010, 01:06 AM

whats up guys, currently im running a 275/40/20 drag radial on the back of my truck temporarily and 255/45/20 in the front which look horrible. I already bought the 245/40/20s for the front but i would like to put a little bit wider tire in the rear my rims are 11.5" wide. any suggestions or pictures you guys can help me with?

anyone running 315/35/20s on a square body?

I ran a 325/50/15 on my stepside and there was definitely enough room for something bigger. I think a 335 would fit, but the backspacing needs to be perfect. I am now running a 295/35/18 and plan on going up to a 305/30 or 315/30 once I run through the 295s.

so you think a 315 will be good? i found a good price on some 315/35/20s so i just have some explaining to do to the woman see what she says. I think im going to use the drag radials arent so safe excuse.

Yepper, they will fit perfectly. I had them on a 10.5" wheel on my previous '86 with a flip kit and they gave me no issue at all. They should be even happier on an 11.5" wheel as that is the optimum width for that size tire.

Tell your lady that some of the truck guys are making fun of your itty bitty tires, and that size does matter! She will agree

.

Put some pics up when you get them installed.

I run a 315/35/20 on a 12" wheel..
Nitto now make a 315 in a drag radial also.
Do a search on 315/35/20 on the site.

What wheels are you running on that truck?

Rollinsqrbdy · 03-04-2010, 12:21 AM

I dont know of any sizes but, I do know that your trucks is niceeeee.

**nlped** · 03-04-2010, 08:36 AM

I had 255/35r20's on mine when I had this combo. Almost exactly the same height as the tire you are gonna be running. You may have to drop it some more

staggerd86c-10 · 03-05-2010, 02:29 AM

im going to mount my 245/40/20s in the front and look for a good priced 315/35/20 for the rear, i only have 3" belltech spindles in the front so i was going to cut a coil off the front and the rear i want to remove a couple leafs to bring it down some more.

staggerd86c-10 · 03-06-2010, 09:56 AM

ok i found a company that makes the matching sedt now all i need are pictures of trucks running these tires, i looked on google but nothing really comes out just alot of pictures of bmw x5s cause thats the size that they come with in the rear.
