RE: What tires are you guys running????
On a second thought, does anyone have any rear end pictures of a 245, 255, or a 265 tire??? I'm pretty sure that they would be beefier than my current 225/55's but I just want to see how much. My buddy that has a cobra keep's making fun of my "pizza cutters"lol. I think that he has 295's on his though.

I would go with some DOT slicks, but, I have to drive on like 15 miles of dirt roads to get home. The little rocks and stuff would tear up the tires. I just need some pictures now.

I wasn't saying you CAN'T run wider than a 245, I just said it mess up your contact patch. The contact patch will be mis-shaped.

The bumper behind the back wheel on the pass side is jacked, as you can tell, and the idle isn't quite right b/c of some other issues that I'm working on, but you get the idea of the 245's........

Ive got Hankook K106's in the stock size on my pony wheels (soon to be on my '03 Mustang wheels).
Theyre VR speed rated and they ride pretty good.
I got them from Discount Tire Direct (www.tires.com) for $275 (all4)or so shipped.

Ihave a set of 225/50/16hankook ventus k102's z rated tires in our barn. Two of the tires are in great shape (80% tread left), but the other two are pretty much trashed. They're good tires, and I would use them if the other two were in good shape, but yeah. I should try and sell them.

I runBFG RadialT/A 245-50-16 in back, and 205-55-16 in front. That will give it that raked look you want. I would NOT go 245-50-16 all the way around, it looks like a 4x4, or a mexican mobile. Has anybody ever ran the BFG g-force drag radial 255-50-16(the ones with the bald strip in the middle)? I was thinking of getting them over the 555's.
