Lets Talk Fatties!

[RadioRedline]

Was doing some research, because I'd like to beef up the rear rubber on my 620s and 521. Skinny in the front eventually and fatties in the back. Found this company: http://www.mandhtires.com/

 

Also found some 6x139.7 Spacers on ebay, they have 1" 2" and 3"! Stock width on our trucks is what? 6 inches?

 

Assuming I only used a 14" rim http://www.mandhtires.com/store.php?crn=73&rn=310&action=show_detail this are damn near 10 inches wide, add that to the fact I'm thinking of putting some nice wdie spacers to stick em out further...hehe Rat Rod! Thoughts?

google "backspacing" ---> seriously it gives a good idea of what's going on especially for what your talking aboot.

 

You also run a higher risk of "imbalance" for the wheels when using spacers ( certain kinds as well as bent or distorted ones ) ^^^ Skib is right , do yer homework on exactly what type of wider wheel you can run , get the look and the function right the first time ;) :D

 

But if your outta money like most of us are ,,, get the look ! :lol:

if you want your tires to stick out. get wider wheels with the proper backspacing.

 

(if you dont know what backspacing is and cant measure a wheel, fuckin google it)

 

spacers are retarded and have been prone to failure.

 

+ a truck with 6in wheels poking out on fat spacers would be fuckin clown shoes

^^^ EXACTLY 100% straight from the horses mouth !

 

Besides Wider Wheels ALWAYS Look BadAzz then smaller ones making it look like the truck is tip toeing everywhere :hmm: !!!

OH ,you guys are talking about wheels & tires huh? oops, my bad :blink:

[Radim]

Pfft, you don't need spacers... all you need is wide wheels with low offset.

you could do both if you want...

but you would be mocked. because it would be stupid.

 

 

 

buying thick ass spacers to have your tires stick out is just the wrong/lazy/cheap way to do it.

[nismo dr]

then you would have to get longer studs as well
