gingergman Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 id go for 195 45 15, is your cab lowerd? if it aint it wont look as good as the gap between tyre and arch is guna be greater, will also be a bit more of a bumpy drive, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingergman Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 60mm with 45 profile tyres would be cool, what set up you getting, just springs or uprated shocks aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeMcCarthy Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 watch out for the speed humps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest s6boy1979 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Doing it right, springs and shocks. I was thinking the 45's would look better with the 60mm drop and thought it might handle slightly better. Yeah i'm slow enough over the humps now as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 yeah it will do bends better, less tyre roll etc, ppl somtimes overtake me where i live when im going over speedbumps, pull away over em, it really pisses alot of ppl off lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
