heres the meats.found a deal i just couldnt pass up,probably wont be ready for these for another month or so,but like i said,couldnt pass up the deal.
working on making my own centers.

they are as follows:
16.9 x 24 v-treads
52.5" tall and 18" wide!!!!

DAMN,I CANT WAIT

ND_guy · 02-13-2008, 12:45 AM

Wow!! That is alot of rubber. I can hear your drivetrain snapping in North Dakota.

Edit: Just saw your sig line. The 2.5s should be up to the task!

bouncytruck · 02-13-2008, 01:14 AM

Good golly! Those are enormous. What all to you plan on running over with those things?

Are you going to weld in centers or make them bolt in like they are now?

tallhoedude · 02-13-2008, 01:46 AM

these tires are actually about the same weight as my 42" iroks i used to run on my tahoe.but yeah theyre still not gonna be real kind to the 2.5 ton axles.
alloy shafts are in the immediate future!!

i am making bolt in centers,this way i will have a few options on backspacing/offset for mud/trails etc..

They don't look very street legal...

tallhoedude · 02-13-2008, 04:51 AM

nope.
but they will see the road a little,i will also have a set of the 53" military michelin radials for road trips,maybe a set of 49 iroks if i could find a deal.
