tires!
roger27:
hey i just bought some very nice 16X8 rims, but i was wondering if 8 inches is too thin. i really hope not. i want some nice wide street tires, i think its called low profile. i was thinking 295/50 ? would that work on 16 X 8 rims? i dont know much about this subject. thanks.

Roger,
This is just my personal opinion, but I wouldn't go that wide on the front. 295s would be excellent for rear traction, however. I have 255/70s all the way around on mine with 15x8" rims. I really like them a lot. I know quite a few guys who are running 275/60s. I'm pretty sure you can get those to fit a 16" rim as well. Stick with something narrower up front so you don't rub while cornering.

i think the magic number was 4.5" for a 10 inch rim, so i dunno 3.5 inches? i haven't heard of anyone having problems with the big rubber all the way around. look at the pictures page. i dunno

i have 295/50's all the way around and i roll and take turns just fine. it also gives the truck a wide low profile stance..
