Bahahahahaha!!! It would look like a Mexican tuner! Have you ever seen that? I have seen those tiny rims on lowered pickups with custom painjobs and sound systems, with the rims sticking out a foot past the fenders!!

Perfect with tire clearance but my rims shave alittle. It looks like it rubs the control arm with my 1-1/2" drop up front. Id like to know how to stop it too. 9" wide up front sucks...if i had to do it again i wouldnt. Steering is limited compared to before plus the sound when you hit the arm sucks.
Definitely, if I had the chance to do it again, I would go with 8s up front. Or maybe some skinnys. Ok, that last part was a joke. I think skinnys look stupid when you're driving around town. But at least they probably don't try to follow any little line on the road.

Maybe I should go gangsta and put some 295/25/26s on there! Calculate it, Raven!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

295/25-26 = 31.81H x 11.61W
@2000 Rpm, 4th gear, 2.73's = 69.31mph

Hell just put some 32" mudders on it and go boggin!

Boggin!! That's a great idea! The first monster/muscle bogger! Wait, I think I might be about to puke... Ok, it passed. I'd go gangsta first! LOL

Raven, I gotta ask you a question: Did they change this group? The look of the site has changed, and the format doesn't let me put smileys and other faces. It obviously can be done, because you did it in your post there. How do you do it now?

It's all good. I like them both wide and skinny, but since I'm not looking for cornering capabilities, I prefer the lighter skinnys for straight line acceleration

No harm, no foul.
