What tire & rim size are you running for a 3100
Hi everyone, I just purchased a 47' and am looking at tire options.
Just getting into this and next week the roof is being chopped and a camaro clip installed from a professional shop. I am not planning to bag the truck, just want a nice low ride. The fellow that is doing the chop owns this truck (pic) and this is the stance I am looking for. I will post pic's of my progress as it moves along. Looking for tire ideas please. [IMG]  [/IMG]

Re: What tire & rim size are you running for a 3100
I am running 17x10 rear and 17x8 fronts, 315/35's rear and 275/40's up front.
mine is not finished yet. if you are not bagging it you will need to stay with smaller diameter rims to keep it low

Re: What tire & rim size are you running for a 3100
I think I would get some more comments on the Camaro front suspension,
If yours is a 5 window look for the corner glass before you do the chop! just my $.01, (hard times)!!

I have a mustang clip available also but I am told the Camaro is preferred in terms of larger brake options? I also believe that the camaro front end will handle the weight better although I will not be using the truck for anything other than weekend cruising so I suppose it may not matter... The window was an issue for the guy doing it on his. What he ended up doing was buying some type of plexiglass and took the original glass with the plexi and warmed it in his oven so it contoured to the exact shape. Once it moulded to the concave, he took clothes pins and let it cool. A bit of trimming and it was complete. I plan to do the same. Last edited by 4DSEVEN; 01-14-2009 at 11:18 AM. |
