Hi, awhile back some of you were discussing replacement tires. Someone had the Atlans tires with some 305's something or the other.

What replacement wheel combos are you guys running on? And how do you like them?

 

I am running 285/75 BFG AT/KOs on 16x10 inch Eagle 589s. This is by far the best mod that I have done to my truck. I love them. I think the Eagle 589 rims are the best value on the market when you consider the overall combination of looks, quality and price. I beleive that is why they are so popular on this site and everywhere else. However if money was no object I would be running either Weld Stonecrushers or chrome American Racing Atlas rims. Both are great looking rims, just expensive.

 

i would have to say for wheels.....that would be Mickey Thompson classic II's for sure.

 

Wandell,
Do you have any pic's of your truck with that tire/wheel combo ?
Thx...Mike

I have been having problems getting phots scanned into my computer. I only have one photo in my gallery, and it is with the OEM rims and BFGs. Hopefully I will get the problem figured out and fixed soon. You can contact me at wandell_a@hotmail.com.
I see you are from Sylvester. I once bought a new Cougar from Sunbelt Ford. They were the only dealer that would take the time to find us a Cougar with a 5.0 engine.

 

I have the 265/75/r16 tires with the eagle 146 wheels

Here's a pic of the new tires

 

maybe this time

 

wrong one

 

Nice looking truck Raptor!! The wider stance the 16x10s give really set these trucks off, doesn't it?

 

Wandell
Tryed to e-mail you the outher day, don't think your e-mail adderss was right??
was wondering about your gas milage after you put on the 285's??
later

 

Raptor, my gas milage is showing about 13 to 14 mpg. But, I put the tires on the second day I had the truck. My Screw came with 255/70s so my spedometer is now off 5 mph so my odometer is off also. I figure my "real" milage is around 15 mpg. I guess I won't know for sure untill I get around to getting a Superlift Tru-Speed.

 

Rapto660? Are those the stock wheels? if so are they the 17 inch?

I want larger tires (off road or mud tread) but don't wan't to spen dthe extra money to get diffrent wheels. I have the 17" wheels and I belive they are 8.5 inches wide, not sure on that one.

 

dcovell,

Your 17" 10-spokers are 7.5" wide. I have the same rims as you, but have the Pro Comp 33X12.50 on them.
