Thanks to all the guys i stole this tire combo from

I was running a 295 rear but on 8" wheels had center tread wear issues. 10's are hard to come by in BC.

15x7 and 15x8's with 255/60's and 275/60's

Super slick.

I was expecting to get bashed for having the whites out... guess I can't let the 80's go!!

How much did you lower it? I like the way it sits

bnoon · 10-26-2012, 03:02 PM

Bashed for raised white letters? NEVER! I wish they would make some sport treaded 20's with them too! I've seen some off-road 20's with them but never the sport ones. I think it would look pretty hot with all of the classic 5 spoke rims now coming in 20's or larger.

truck was lowered by the first owner, the second owner could not tell me any details about what was done. as far as i can tell, springs/shackles/custom leaf pack/short shocks.

Sorry cant tell you any more. but Im sure guys on this forum could get you very close to this stance.

Very happy with it, the 295's where not very smooth above 60mph, running them on 8"s was not the best idea, traction wise i would say that the 275 hook up just about the same.

And the 255 fronts have way better turn in then the 215/70's, way better combo than 215/70 and 295/50's

Malo83 · 10-27-2012, 12:05 PM

Nice!!! what is the color?

olllie · 10-27-2012, 12:08 PM

Factory color repainted a few years back, don't remember the paint code off hand.
