Thats gonna be a crazy change but its gonna look good!!

 

$80 later..
The tires on there are 295/50 BFG Radials.. and they are dead.. he said the rims are 15x9s, how would I check? also I need center caps and the lug nuts these use is a bit different..

Now plan to run 255/60 in the on the rears, now what size tires should I run on the front? Hope to find some 15x7s rims for the front.. The rims hold a bead so Im not too worried about the screws in the lip

 

Nice find! You should be able to do just measure the rim once the tire is off lol.

 

Thanks! My dad is not happy about storing them

 

Aint that the truth, all i hear about is my stock rims off my 98 taking up space blah blah blah...

In the front maybe a 235/60/15

 

I'm wondering if I should run the same size on all 4.. I know I wont be able to rotate them like I do now, but it would make things simpler

though the 255 rear and 235 front would give it a sweet old school rake..

and which wheel is the sensor for the speedo on?
I need to know for a retune..

 

there is no wheel the sensor is on.

from what i know I think its located in the rearend or tranny..

 

I'm pretty sure its the tranny

 

so do I use the rear tire size for a retune?
SCT FTW!

 

Use rear tire size.

Those rims are gonna look sweet!

 

Yeah, Decided if I was gonna lower I wanted to run some meaty tires, old school

and they just need a good polish..

 

wow those uca look sick

 

$200 later, (2) 15x8 Cragar Star Wheels with 255/60/r15 BFG Radials with 7/32 tread. Rims will be used up front possibly with a spacer, tires will be used on the rear.

The tires on the rear prostars will be trashed.

Just ordered (4) new center caps for them.. now I just need 2 tires and I am ready to lower!

Still debating if I should get 255 or 235s as the 235s would reduce the odds of the front tires rubbing, but my dad said I should get the same size all around, not sure why as they can not be rotated normaly unless I take the tire off the rims every time I rotate, I just plan to switch sides when I rotate.

btw they are wet in the pics so they look spotty..

Project cost so far ~$400

 

keep fatty's in the rear.. looks more bad ***

 

roast them crappy tires!

 

those are gona look awesome on there when its lowered

 

maybe once I get a yab.. till then I will buy 235/60 up front and use the 255/60s in the rear.. then once the 255/60s wear down I will get 295/50s like those on there.. they aint cheap

though cheaper than the 31"s lol

I would but I think they would pop, one has a good size gash in the rubber..


Thanks, I should gain back alot of the power and mpg I lost with the 31s, so life will be good

 

295 are $135 how is that expansive? thats cheap as hell

 

compared to the 2 rims with crap tires for $80 it is

 

I wish my tires were that cheap!

Now you've just gotta get a motor in there to make it show &&& go!

Brenton

 

someday

till then I think I will enjoy less trips to the pump and less body lean.. plus some old school looks..

 

you want to have the same size tires all around if your truck has four wheel abs.

if you don't it will turn the abs light on.

 

I do, could the xcal fix that?

The 255 is .9 taller than the 235, and .7 wider.. didnt think it would make that much of a difference

 

the only way to fix it that i know of is to reflash the abs module.

a wider tire won't hurt it but a taller tire will, they all have to rotate at the same speed.

 

Glad you brought this up before I went out and bought them.. so heres some new ideas:

(2) 255/60r15 ~ $200
(4) 235/60r15 ~ $400
(2) 245/60r15 & (2) 295/60r15 ~ $500 (.1 inch difference, that's less than the difference right now between my 31"s, 2 tires are 7/32 and the other 2 are 11/32)

New Plan: find (2) used 255/60r15s for less than $100 so I can save up for some sweet meats and start saving gas..
