Anyone else????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 so your saying new wheels then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06VHO Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 so your saying new wheels then? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, new wheels. Your wheel width should be the same as your tread width +/- 1". I don't think you will find a tire that will work well for your truck, that will fit an 8" wheel. Again, just my opinion. I would check with others though.

04CHASE Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 yeah i was thinking the same thing. but i dont think i will have a hard time finding these wheels a new home since i got them for such a good deal. i may still try them in the current state at the track since they are a bit lighter than my 22's!

mwalls54 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 for a 305 the minimum width of a wheel is 8.5" I would try what you have and go from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
