 Subject: tire setup opinions needed
IP: Logged
Message:
okay i have a 2002 cc dakota and it has the tire group with the 16" wheels. truth is that i don't like them that much so my buddy has a 99 dakota with the 15x8 wheels and i like the way those look, so my buddy will sell me the wheels CHEAP, because he put a set of 18's on his truck. so my question is how will 235/60/15 BFG radial t/a's up front and 275/06/15 radial t/a's out back look on a black truck. my choice is based on the fact that i already have the new tires up in the attic, they were for a project that fell through. the front end won't be too low, will it? i see lowered trucks all the time and they seam to be okay and the front won't be that low.

i run 235/60/16 goodyear eagle ga's on the steering axle and 285/60/16 goodyear eagle nascar #1's on the drive (of course all white/gold lettering is turned inside). i like the set or as some would say the stance that i get having the bigger tires on the rear AND having a 2" drop in the rear. hope you're pulling with at least a 3.55 rear, would be kinda hard on a 3.21. my 3.92's sometimes don't seem tall enough, but then again i like my vehicle to be able to come almost to idle in third and be able to pick it back up without changing gears. as far as lowering, the front wheel imo shouldn't rub with a 1" drop, r/t springs or aftermarket. guess it all depends on back spacing, my 8" rims are at 5 1/2" and for a good drop maybe should be closer to 6", 6 1/2" and a clean black truck looks good with clean black tires.
