Cajundragger's truck

Fat Mike · 12-01-2009, 02:24 PM

I was asking because Texas56 and kdog are running 22's in the rear and he said he had plenty of rrom so I wanted to see if anyone has also put them on the front.

cajundragger · 12-01-2009, 11:25 PM

yes it can be done. my truck will lay 22's. but I wont run them because they are just to damn big in the front. Too tall, to where the radius of the wheel is much larger than the radius of the front fender so that you'd have to lift the fender about 3-4 inches over the wheel to have proper clearance. My 20x8's with a 255/35 tire is what I'd basically consider the limit. You could also fit a 245/40 or maybe a little bigger, but I wouldnt. Its just be a pain to drive.

Just pulling your leg.

ya I ran a 20x8.5 on the front with a 255/35/20 tire and seems to steer pretty good.When I had the stock brakes and Control arms on mine you had alot more turn at very low ride height due to the wheels being in a little more. Im hoping to have mine painted and in final assembly in the next couple weeks so I can shoot you some pics if you want.

texas56 · 12-07-2009, 04:13 PM

Oh forgot to add, as far as the rears go, the 22 will fit but I also added a narrowed 9 inch ford to get the wider wheel and the 305 tire on it. I also have a 40 series tire on the rear. Seems like I tried a buddies 265/35/22 on a 22x10 on mine when I had the stock rear in it and it fit, Was a little tight real low but It went I think.

What color is your truck going to be? Anything close to your avatar?

texas56 · 12-08-2009, 11:12 AM

Actually it was going to be that color scheme but now going a different route. Its going to be a Flat Burnt orange.
