The difference between the 40 and 45 aspect ratio on a 295 mm width tire is 18 mm in height.(a tad less than 3/8 inches). That is enough to make a slight difference in speedo error and hardly a differance in acceleration. As far as being safe, I beleive an inch on a 295 width is not a real issue, especially when thousands are running a 285 width ( were talking only 10 mm more here) He may want to discuss this with an "expert" first. (And I don't mean a sales rep at the local discount tire shop. Perhaps a senior tech at Tire Hut may shed some light on this.

 

thanks for all of the replies......I guess there wouldn't be any fitment issues due to the fact I entered the vehilce and then it gave me all of the choices.

I have, but they are a tad more than I was looking to spend....If I had my choice, it would be those or Foose rims.

thanks Mondo for the heads up....I really don't want to flex the sidewall that much though. I have 295's on the stock 9.5" rims and they work well....I think I could get away with 285/40/20 on a 20x9" wheel and not have safety issues.

Halflife.... I like those wheels on your L ...If I could afford them, I would have them. Are those 20's??

 

They are 22’s, they can not be that more expensive then the ones you posted, especially for the 20’s I would think.

 

use all the Winky faces you want, It does not prove you have the needed reading comprehension and memory retention skills needed to be helpful on this post.

Stock 295/45-18 Diamater 28.5 inches

plus 2 295/45-20 Diameter 30.5 inches speed will read 60mph but you will be going 64.2mph

optimal plus 2 275/40-20 Diamater 28.7 speed will read 60 you will be going 60.4

ALSO 275/40-20 is the best size to run for a 8.5 to 9 inch wide wheel.

If you do not aggree, and you work at the tire hut, it just goes to show that tire hut customers should watch out for morons working on their cars. The same can be said for most nationwide chain automotive parts and service businesses.

 

Pitstain- Everytime I say something that guys like you don't agree with, it turns into a back & forth power struggle. I am not going to elaborate any further. I am giving this man some advice from experience that I have gone through and he has the option of taking or leaving it. Just like your advise. BTW, I do NOT work for tire hut or any tire shop. And sorry you don;t like my winky faces. Just chill and lets forge foward. Peace out.

 

I really like the 1st ones...simple & clean looking...the others are a bit too "busy" for me.

 

All of the wheels I posted are around $300 a piece ....give or take a few dollars.
The Boze wheels were over $600 a piece and the Foose almost $500 a piece.

Trying to get some nice wheels without breaking the bank. Don't get me wrong.....the others are very nice, but I just can't spend that much.

Pitstain and Mondo...you guys fight nice.... I appreciate both opinions and will consider this when I decide to purchase.

Thanks again fellas..

 

you want 20's right? i will call my buddy up and see what he can do. I was lucky and bartered for it, i did the rim shop owners loan for next to nothing and he gave me the rims at cost, so i really had no clue what retail was on them.

 

Mondo1-

Are you questioning my math? if not then your advice is wrong....I am not trying to display myself as superior, I just dont want this guy getting the wrong info.
For some reason my experience with this has the right math behind it and your's does not so your experienced advice should be stricken from your brain before it causes further problems.

 

I do.... I want 20x9 - 9.5 or 20x10 if he can get them. Let me know what he comes up with.

Thanks Tom

Hey PitStain!! I was showing the difference between a 40 vs a 45 aspect ratio on a 295 wide tire of the same wheel size. Sorry if you misunderstood. Regardless, the info is correct.You can run a 295/40/18 tire on an 8.5 inch wide wheel, 20 inch or 18 inch. Doesn't make a sh**t of a difference which wheel height. BTW, I would never think of questioning the sheer math complexity of computing the diameter of a tire! You need to chill out or you'll pop a vein. With your condescending tone. I now understand why you were banned by the "fat Dork" from "you know where and where". Lets just hope Shelpdogg gets his wheels. Over and out!

 

sent an email already, will let you know when he gets back to me

 

i almost bought the 2nd rim for mine. they have that wheel and tire advertised in trucking magazine all the time for $1,499 in a 20"

isnt the brand Akuza ?? but yea id def go with the 2nd

 

Mondo I really hope you tell all the tire manufactures to correct their spec sheets as well.........you are factually wrong.....why don't you at least admit that YOU think a 295/40 will work on an 8.5" wide wheel, but that it is NOT reccomended by the tire manufacturers, and I will try to not pop a vein. Not to reinforce my own rep as a nitpicker even more but.....arteries have much more pressure than veins and it would be more likley for me to "pop an artery".

 

3rd onez!
