And a big no on the 22.5 alcoas: rubberband tires + shitty moon-crater-like roads + bigass heavy diesel engine = bad bad idea!

Don't need to go with rubber bands; use full size tires, and lift it. Not very appropriate though, seeing as its 4x2. Also, I'm not really a fan of the big wheels on a small truck either. I really don't know why I suggested that...**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser
**2006 MGM,"Ultimate": 4.6/ 2.73/ Dark Tint, Magnaflows, 19s, 115K Daily Driver
**2012 Harley Davidson Wide Glide (FXDWG):103/ Cobra Speedsters/ Cosmetics, 9K Poseur HD Rider
**1976 Ford F-150 4WD: 360, 4 spd, 3.50s, factory A/C, 4" lift, Bilsteins, US Indy Mags, 35s Truck Duties

Hm. I stand corrected, Ivan ... apparently the cheaper steel offerings from US Wheel and Cragar aren't available off the shelf (at least from Summit) in 16x10 with a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern. Guess that partly solves the problem of hardly having any 26-to-28-inch tires available to fit them. So the most straightforward 16" handling solution would be 16x8s with 255/50 or 255/55 tires. :p2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

But if it were a 4x4 and I were lifting it I would go with some flotation tires, like 35" or 37" diameter, on some 16" wheels - more rubber means less stuck on sandLast edited by turbo2256b; 04-15-2008, 05:38 PM.Scars are tatoos of the fearless

And how much you need your wheels that the tires are mounted on now (if they're steel)? Also are the 225/75s EVOs also e-rated?Scars are tatoos of the fearless

My truck is 1990. I have those chrome covers on my wheels so I can't measure the actual center hole, but the diameter of the center caps are like 4.75, so likely the wheels are the same size as yours. Shipping - gas for you driving from where? Also how much for the tire + wheel, I will only need one pair as my rears are pretty decent, and tis the fronts I'd like to beef up a bit.

Witch wheels 2 steel or chrome (would rather sell all 4 chrome ones togeather) The EVOs new were 195.00 each selling for 120.00 each for the 225x75x16s or the 285s (would rather sell the 235s as a set) The half worn 235x 85x 16s like 50.00 each.Scars are tatoos of the fearless

whatever tires you get make sure they have at least a H speed rating
