Saw the hugest tires today !!!
DOT street legal ones anyway ! They were 54" tall, and 19.5" wide ! They had one mounted on a 20", at 4 Wheel Parts in Sacramento.
They also had a 46" x 16". The guy that I was dealing with, said he had had a set of the 46" tires on his F250, with a 15" lift :-) That's way too big and bad for my wallet, but I'd like to see a truck like that in person !
Anyway, got my BFG AT's 285/70-17"s and my Pro Comp 7089's.... but have to wait until tomorrow to get them mounted and balanced.
Okay now, in time, they might start to look way smaller.... but I put one up beside my stock tires and they looked substantially bigger, and WAAAY more agressive than those stock Michelins :-)
The ProComp 7089's looked even better in person ! Love the finish... not glossy, but not so flat, that they look dark gray either..... Just as satiny BLACK as black gets ! Should match the rest of the black on my truck to a "T" :-) Whoo Hoo ! Stoked :-)
Peace,

Oh, here's a link to see those 54" tires :-) > http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/techart...ire/index.html

Hey Roush....
yes, it's really easy to get to. Just take the ElCamino exit off of Capitol City freeway (Bus. 80) and boom, it right there 100 yards from the exit. They had a pretty good selection of all the wheels I've been seeing, in stock..... right there where I could actually see them in person.... But even so, looking through all of the wheels, I didn't have any second thoughts, or regrets about the wheels I bought :-)
The Dale Earnhardt Junior wheels looked GREAT in person too (I considered those for a while) but they just wouldn't work with my blackout styling idea. I'd have bought those DEJ's (machined and black) before I would have gotten any chrome ones though.... But that's just me.

Yea ! :-)
How cool are those ? :-)
That's some bad-*** paint on that.... uh... {cough, choke} Chevy too, huh ? ;-)
I would absolutely love to own something so "useless" as a show truck with tires like that ! :-) Then slap an 8000wt stereo system in it, and you would be good to go :-)
Hey, it's not "what we need"... but rather, "what we want" right ?

Yeah those 54" Boggers have been out for quite some time now. I wish they had deeper tread. The tread depth isn't proportional to the size of the tire. It looks like half the tires tread is gone already. I know that's just how it is though. There is plenty of tread there to get the job done. And just for the record, there is another 54" tire but it's really hard to come by. Kat Kustoms in Ohio rebuilt a truck for a guy out of Texas. The tires are mainly used for large firetrucks at airports. Custom wheels had to be made to fit them.
This is how it arrived after the owner drove it up from Texas to Ohio.
The After.
