Not legit. I beat the pinch weld flat on my DD and was able to fit an extra inch in height and width.

You need less offset rims?

Don't really want an extra inch of height or width though. Q78's is what I want to run, which is 35.5x10 and I can clear that right now with less offset.

I hate how set out these rims are.

I used to love the way a set of Q Buckshots looked on stock rims on your model truck with a 6" lift. I know a couple guys that had suburbans like that.

Stock rims wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. Gonna start dumpster diving the local junkyards soon

Pizza cutters? No love for a 35x12.50?

Chickman has 35x12.50s on his 99 with a 6" that didn't really rub that bad before it sagged. Now, driving it is like nails scratching a chalk board it rubs so bad

I don't like 12.5's.

I'm a big fan of tall and narrow.

They make them for 15's and 16's IIRC

They definitely make SSRs in 35x10.50r16 and r15 so I can go that route if I have to.

They used to come in 15" or 16". I love the skinny look too. On a GM truck. Fords and dodge, not so much.

1st thing to do would be get rid of those Thornturds. Worst mud tires that have ever seen


Yeah wouldnt have been my first choice, but some pawpaw in winnsboro was selling them for 300 bucks and were practically brand new. I had spent all my tops money on the lift and rims, so just wanted something cheap to fill the wheel wells. At the same time, they never did me wrong in the mud so i was never in a hurry to swap em.
