vett wheels with mud tires ?

Ya just dont get 20's or something stupid like that. Ive seen way too many low profile mudders come through work it pisses me off. Nothing like seeing BFG AT's going on 24" rims

good lookin truck there dickeydoo...i am familiar with the 31's had a set on my 95 blazer what i was referencing is a tire that has an overall size similar to 31x10.5 but using a 17" rim...and i wasnt sure if the vett/camaro 17" rims had too much of a wron off set to make that work?!?!

Re: vett wheels with mud tires ?

Well if it helps you any i have 17x8 eagle alloys off my 94 formula with 265/75/r17 buckshot maxxis mudder tires (got them free), my blazer is a 87 with a bodylift only, and they touch frame at full lock, they might hit my fenders if i turn while hitting bumps though. Hope this helps.
