Title: Buying Tires And Tims - This Week
Post by: Yoak on December 27, 2006, 12:12:22 AM: Hello All I need some help....

I am going to buy some times, I am in California so they are somewhat pickey about how far our tires stick out....one inch or so is ok....

I have 2" Suzuki OEM Flares...

I was planning on running 15 inch Rims (8" Wide) (or maybe even a 16" rim if suggested)

I will be running BFG AT 10.05

Any suggestions on what I should be looking at for Backspacing...

I have heard 3.75 tends to be good..

That also makes me wonder why toyota is putting 17 inch rims on their trucks now, as 17s usually have the least amount of selection when it comes to tires.

Yankee Bob is runnning 33's on 17" rims with 2" BS. The 17" rim means less sidewall, and less deflection. 33"s on 15's aired down makes for a sloppy ride.
