Torn on tires...

**Dantra** · 03-31-2009, 05:09 PM

Help me decide here, show me yours.

Looking online and I'm torn with what is gonna suit the swamp beast the best. I;m thinking 275/40R20 in back and 245/45R20 in front. They are the same height according my calculater. The most affordible way that I have found for that stagger is yokohamas. My rims measure 10" outside bead to bead (Weld Racing Wheels) so I'm calling them 9s and figure 275 is really about as far I need to push it in the back. Not sure about running anything bigger than a 245/45 in the front due to my 2" drop. Also looked at Hankooks...actually kinda like them but I can't get the stagger

Really open to ideas atm...staggered that way or not to stagger etc. Just wanna see whats out there.

What I currently have is 245/40s that were on the wheels when I bought them from Obi Wan. Not a fan of the no side wall look but I got every dime I could ouuta them.

Thanks for any ideas/suggestions

I *LOVE* the Toyo Proxes 4s - and I'm running the sizes you're looking at doing.

I can write poetry about them if you want, but that's my choice in a one-line essay.

I was wondering if thatt was your set up...I like the look.

Tracy is running Toyos on hers as well, she's a step up in size (295/40 & 255/45) and they nice tires. I'm looking at saving a few bucks (a little over $100 on 4) with the yokos. I hate to put something on there more expensive since I know I will wear down faster than the norm.

They look pretty decent I guess and they run about 130 a tire. I don't road race or anything so I just need rubber

Does she have the Proxes 4's in 295/40? That's what I wanted, but couldn't find them in that size, only the Proxes ST or whatever they're called.

you can drop it pretty far and still run 275/40's

Ive been running it on some rough roads and on the track and it doesnt rub at all

Fender to ground height is 28.5"

Now that's what I'm looking for...Nice

If I can get 275s all around with this drop I will. This way I can rotate to try to make them last all I can

I kinda like the directional....and it's cheaper
