TurbochargedBerserker Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Will 345/40-20s fit? How about 345/30-19 What's everyone think of Michelin Pilot Sports? To be clear: I know they won't fit the rims. I'm talking custom rim with the right backspacing wearing this tire fitting into the wheel well.

Krambo Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Awesome! Being that you are doing the 2wd conversion, you must be considering two different sizes from front to back? If I was in your position, I would consider it. It is going to take alot of meat to hook your power levels I would try the 345/40s but do not have real world advise on those.

TurbochargedBerserker Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Yep I'm thinking of 345/30-20s in the rear and 245ish 19s up front. I need to meaure for back spacing tomorrow, but at first glance, and using the centerline of the stock tires, it looks like these will fit.

zippy Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'm curious as to how they'd fit also, but it seems like there would be plenty of room. One thing is for sure, it'll look f**king killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) DOH! They will stick out about 1.5"... Did some more measurements and spoke to a custom wheel shop. We have 13" of clearence back there which means: 10 inch rims (which are really 11"??) and a 305 tire is the max without finagling.

Krambo Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Here is a pic of 305/50s on a 10 inch rim (20"). I think with a little adjustment to the backspacing, the 345s have a chance. Sorry about not having a direct rear shot handy. If ya need one let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Hey Krambo can you take a shot from the rear showing the clearence between the tire and the spring? Thanks, E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Well, just got off the phone with 2 other custom wheel shops... Both say 20x12 with 345s will fit the truck no problem as long as there is no camber with the planned 4" drop. Of course, if they don't they recommend I "ebay them" lol This is getting more frustrating the more 'experts' I talk to, rather than less lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
