Need Tires/Wheels in DC/MD/VA area... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DC_Jimmy · 07-06-2009, 11:03 AM

I'm looking to borrow a set of generic street size tires on 6 lug wheels to get my Jimmy inspected in the great truck-hating jurisdiction of DC. Inspector says my regular set stick out beyond bumper width, so will not give me an inspection sticker. Not buying new tires just to pass this inspection. If you know any Chevy/GMC 4wd guys in the greater DC area, please let me know. I just need the tires/wheels for a couple of hours. other ideas? thanks

sorry, I'm in the Phila. area, but if you want to come up 95, you're welcome to have them

Thanks. I should have come to see you when I made the drive to get the springs from Harry. My mistake. Have to compare gas cost vs. picking some up from a junkyard. craigslist sellers are surprisingly expensive for something that probably nobody but me wants
