finally settled on a wheel for the truck


Recommended Posts

295 and 305 is the width of the tire not the sidewall or thickness from rim to top of tire. That's the second number. 305 mm Is like 9.5" iirc.

wrong..

trust me I thought the same way and wrong on the second part too

a 305/35/24 has a bigger sidewall than a 295/35/24 because the second number is a percentage of the first

so it would be 35% of 295 or 305

and 305mm has nothing to do with the width of the rim

my rims are 10" wide and I have a 295 tire on them

Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple

Damn.. Those will look sick. Beg borrow or steal a thin walled socket and let's see these bitches. I love the idea of the insert.. How are they held in?

supposedly sears has one and I have three of them I can hit up on the way home.

the inserts are held in by allen head bolts. I'll take pics to show you but the center by the end cap has them from the back side of the cap and then the side closest to the lip has them on the outside. So you secure them to the center cap and then to the wheel. its alot easier to see and put in perspective.

u should get spline lugs so you can use a special key to removed them and then the key would take any 19 or 21mm socket :-)

the issue is not the lugs its the lug well off the wheels. Its so narrow I can't get any socket inside the well. Ive got these on the way should be here tomorrow. Called every place locally and they dont have anything

ha yeah just thought id bring it up. i know i checked a pile of sockets at work trying to find one that worked. almost ordered a set of them thin walled but had this idea last sec and worked lol.

depending on the brand the 3/8s should have a thinner wall than the 1/2 drive. i used a craftsman metric 21mm 3/8 drive iirc
