ss rims on a t/a

Im just going to put my rims on now since no one is interested in buying them. So i would like to know what size tires should I buy. I want them to fit and not hang out the fenders to much. I like the way Jungleman's rims fit but im not sure what size tire he uses plus he does not use spacers since of his read end.

he has to use spaces in the front then even tho his rearend is changed. but the tires size that fits those best if it is 17by is 245/24 andif its any bigger go 275/40

a 275/40/17 would work absouletly great on those! talk to skulte about his adapters. i *think* it's 2" rear and 2.5" front...not sure though.

I used 275/40-17 tires in the front (as well as the back) and 2" spacers up front. I did not waste my money on the Skulte adapters as I found eBay adapters that work every bit as well for less money.

The 275s rub a bit at full lock but I wanted to be able to have all 4 tires the same and still have 275s.

Good luck with it...
