    Standardbyker: FYI If you go through stockton wheels or dimond racing they can make you a custom set of steelies with the back spacing and such that you need.

    Toyo trucker: I know a place in so cal give me a sec I'll get back with you.

    Edit: Here's the So Cal spot that widen wheels

    Bolton's Classic Wheels

    I just sent an email to Diamond for a price quote.

    Front 16x8 ET+0 That's a 4" lip

    Rear 17x10 ET+0 That's a 5" lip

    Something like that. The lip won't be that huge.

    I'd say that won't tuck, but you aren't nearly low enough for that :ROFL:

    :waytogo: that will be a sick setup with the proper stance. I'm thinking 16x8 all around on 205/40/16 falken 512's and for some saucy stretch maybe just maybe 16x9 in back for a slight aggressive set up. I want some JDM action going on.

    That won't be safe. You have to take into consideration the load index of the tire. It would be safer to run a 50 or 55 series tire. But, you have to consult with a professional for exact details.

    I have 18"s 40 series and the index is 95. I believe our truck index is 92 or something.

    or look at the max load rating of the tires. and personally i think 16s and 40s looks dinky small. im gonna be running short tires on mine soon, and if i run 16s itll still be 205/50/16s. all i know is i cant run any taller than 24" out back if i want to stay out of the bed rail when i bag it.

    Our trucks are in the weight area's between 240sx's and Supra's (much lighter than supra's though)



    other wise, I plan to tuck tire on my truck.

    I tuck tread in the rear haha
