thinking of buying some cragers but need good tire size

[MOBS]

454ss's rears are ~13" wide treads, 325's

really!!!! DAMNIT i didnt think they would fit. i thought 12" wide was about all you could stuff under the back.. guess i was wrong lol

His aren't exactly "stuffed" either though, it looks like it'd be pretty damn close on the outside, not sure of the inside, needa better pic.

I will get some better pics this weekend. They are "stuffed, I promise. I run a 1" spacer and I have about 1/4" between the tire and front of the leaf, and on really weird turn + hill combo's it rubs the bed a little. They could probably come out another 1/4 - 1/2 " and still look flush. but with a leafspring setup, I think this is as big as you can go.

Thanks for the info! Now im one step closer.


Turns out I have a screw in my right rear, guess thats another step... probably get 325/50/17 out back and 265/50/17 in front. if the steel wheels are too heavy ill try going down to a 15".

15x8= 15lbs

17x8= 33lbs?!

this cant be right!

That WOULD sound odd, but I suspect the 2 rims you compared were probably made of 2 different thicknesses of metal.
