Re: Getting Started

I'll show a pic of a 40 series tire on my Chevy and a 30 series tire on my wifes Dodge. Keep in mind her Dodge is cambered in which makes the tire look a little larger then it actually is. My point here is the difference in the 30 and 40 series are not much and will not create your ride quality to dramatically change. Now if your were to run a 265/70/17 that would give you some sidewall flex! I'll also include a pic of my rear setup. Mocked up now with Slams but will be running Firestones. This truck is set up for a two inch (above ground level) ride height and the front wheels lock out at this height. Hopefully someday soon I can share how it rides on a 25 series tire. The fronts are actually 265/30/22 and the rears are 295/25/22. There is a reason for this also. One more thing, a friends daily driven 745li BMW rides like a dream on 265/30s and 295/25s. What size tires did you end up going with?
