Casey02L,
PM me on that. Thanks

 

I picked up some used tires 235/60/16 and rims mounted balanced for $20 not the best but hey they were cheap 90%tread also!

 

Nope not that I know o f..

 

A few years back, Weld offered some 16 x 8 wheels, but not since.

Best low buck deal is 16 x 7.5" polished aluminum Expedition wheels. Think I paid $250 or so for four and sold two (it has been a while). Then added two used Z rated 225 x 16 x 50 that I picked up for $20 for the pair. on these 7.5" wide wheels. The wheels weighed ~28# with tire and 13# without. They were only 26" tall and thus tightened reaction time well and lower front of the truck an inch at the track. Yes, I often mounted them at house and drove them the 70 miles to track and back inflated to 35-40 psi.

Sold a the other pair to a friend and he used 215 x 65's I think?

Only trouble I had with them was I did not think they looked that great although they were very functional.

Caution to anyone who reduces front rim diameter significantly less than rear wheels on the street or even the track. It will cause ABS braking problems. The smaller front diameter turn greater rpm than rear wheels at all speeds. Thus the computer thinks the rear wheels are sliding and thus releases hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes and front brakes are now doing ALL the stopping. This dangerously lengthens stopping distance at the wrong time and is also hard on front brake pads and rotors.

 

BigBobsL....
Good info on the tires. I have never heard of that but will definitely keep that in mind

I have AR Baja's(16x8) in the front with 215/75R16 99S tires. (5.7" tread)
Drive 95 miles up the turnpike to Englishtown, pump them up to 50 to race, drive home. No Problem.
