38 X 13.5 X 17 options?

BeefyDees · 02-10-2009, 08:51 PM

Hey guys Im new here and I have been getting a lot of usefull information off this site.

I just wanted to know who makes tires in this size. I have an 8" Top Gun Customz long arm kit. I do a lot of highway driving so I would like something that lasts for as long as possible and rides nice. Would this size tire clear without any rubbing or would I be better off going with 37X13.5X17? I have 17X9 moto metal 951 rims and I believe these have a 4.5' backspace. I appreciate the help. Thanks, DJ

looks like your options on the 17s is non existent. the 37s would be more available and shouldnt be close to rubbing.

Thanks for the help guys! I am liking the 38.5x14.50x17 procomp extreme all terrain tires. Would these work on my rims with them only being 9 inches wide and do you think I would have any rubbing?

8lugcustomz · 02-11-2009, 01:40 PM

Yah those would be fine. you can go to 15.5 wide.

I think this is what I am going to go with. Since my rims are only 9 inches wide would mounting a 14.5 inch wide tire cause the middle of the tires to wear out faster? Thanks for the help
