Getting new tires and rims (hopefully) - 20/03/07 06:54 PM
I just got my X, and I am planning on putting on a 2" BL and a PML. Now I have been thinking about the tires I would like to put on there and I have come to the decision that I would like to put on Kumho MT's 33". Now I am prepared to do some cutting of the plastic. I wanted to go with 15" steel rims with 5" of BS (tell me if this should be different). I would like to keep my stock 17" wheels and use them for daily drivers. Also I will have other transportation so I won't be destorying the Kumho's on the road if I leave them on there.
So basically this is where I have run into trouble. I am trying to get this all put together in a package through Town Fair Tire. I have had good experiences with them in the past and they will be able to mount everything and align the truck for next to nothing if I buy the tires and wheels through them. However they are telling me that I would not be able to go with 15" or 16" wheels since the brake calipers are to large. Also they say I will have to have a wheel width of 9" to be able to get 12.5" tires. I would like to know if what they are saying is true. Also what if I go with say just 11.5" wide tires, what would the wheel size need to be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
