....looking for confirmation, stock (97) rims, no drop, how wide can I go, closely maintaining the stock aspect ratio, and not rubbing on full turns?

255/60/15 out back
235/60/15 up front

Cheers,

how low are you going.

255 60 15 in rear are same height as stock and will work with a 7 inch drop no probs in back.

front 235 60 15 will work with up to a 3 inch drop 4 inch drop will rub a little thats it up top

Gracias....

Keeping the hieght stock for now, my original Tiger-
Paw's are at the end of the line, focusing on perf mods first, then appearance......

Thanks for the reply, anyone used Tirerack.com? They seem to have a great selection and resonable prices/shipping prices....

Cheers,

i used to work at costco. for the price shipped from tire rack you get the tire there installed with warranty.

those tires installed with warranty should be 310 bucks

The 275-50-16 tire is a BFG Comp Ta it is a special order tire.
I got them from the NTB store near me where i do all my tire
stuff. I still have them at my shop, took them off when i sold
the truck. They looked great but were a little to heavy for
drag racing. Killed my 60FT and top end.

sorry the vr4s were that size i forgot about that one. was discontinued over 2 years ago

 

[Wicked X]

Yes their the ones. Did they really stop making them? thought
i saw them on a truck just a little while back.

yah they are no more. if you look at the tires the dots are over 2 years old. whatever was made is still around since that size isnt so popular in a bfg tire
