finally settled on a wheel for the truck


Recommended Posts

I'm waiting for pics also...

Any plans on changing the paint??

im thinking about it. There are some dings and knicks so id love to get it painted lets see what the budget allows first.

i just spent a few thousand on wheels and brakes so paint will have to simmer on the back burner for a bit .

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

305 has everything to do with width of rim, 305 is width or tire and 35 is the sidewall and thats the percent of the width or the tire. you cant put a 145/35/24 on the rim if the rim needs a 305 width. it depends on the width of the rims to have the right width of tire.. just my .02

if I do it will probably stay red. Ive seen too many murdered out and blacked out rides.

Red is Nice, I'm painting my truck Kandy Red as soon as I change the front end on mine..

would you ever consider colormatching the whole rim and just leaving the insert black? I think that would look nice and be different...

never thought of that but now that you said it. the black wheel looks nice. ties in with the windows being so dark.
