305s

dodge17 · 05-01-2009, 12:49 PM

Im trying to get some new wheels and tires for my 98 and Im just wondering if I can run 305/75/16s on a 16x10 inch wheels with a leveling kit. I like the wide tire look and thats why Id rather go with the 16x10 instead of a 16x8. And is a steering brace something I should look into? I know most lifted guys have them but I dont know if its really necessary with only 305s. Thanks for the help guys

depends on the rims...

I have lt305/70R16 BFGs on mine but im using 16x10 'rock crawler' rims w/ 4.5" backspacing -25 offset

They stick out a fair bit and do rub slightly at full lock, i dont think that a leveling kit would help a whole lot.

Not the greatest pic...

I have a set of 305/70/16's for sale, not exact but alot cheaper than new. I will sell you rims/tires/hubcaps cheaper than you will be able to buy the tires. Let me know if your interested.

Description from ad...

2) Tires and Rims and Hubcaps Rims are stock alloys off of a 2001. The rims are in good shape. Slight flaking of clear (I think) near where the hubcap would go on 1 or 2 rims (hubcap covers most of it). I am very anal about my truck and the rims look very nice from 10 ft away. Not perfect but respectable. Tires are Pro Comp All Terrains LT 305-70R16. MAYBE have 2000 miles on them, look brand new basically. No Rubbing that I know of, bought as Winter tires because I drag race, never really had them on other than when I first got them. Look nice with no lift if you want a beefy all terrain tire. Hubcaps match the rims, Very nice shape, not clean in pics. BEST OFFER

I'm going to be mounting some 305/70/16's on my stockers today I should have pics up today sometime as well. Give you an idea of what it'll look like. I don't have any lift.
