r8rs4lf Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Well, I finally got them on my truck. Many thanks to Bryan @ Intro, he's a stand up guy! I ended up mounting them on Nitto 305/40/22. It's very close when the wheel is turned all the way, but I haven't heard any rubbing. Here is a before pic. And now.......

r8rs4lf Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 The ride seems to be getting better and better everytime I do something. It rides alot smoother than when I had those stock Goodyear LS tires on there. I've heard alot of people say that the ride gets worse with lower profile tires, but I haven't had that experience. At least not yet! Also, I had three of the four stock wheels/tires in my bed and it didn't bottom out once on the way home and it took me a good 45 minutes to get home because I got a smokin deal on the tires, but I did have to travel a bit.

m396 #00-011 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Is that a 10" rim? I'm surprised the tire is pulled in so much. Other than that, it looks fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8rs4lf Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 No, it's a 8.5" rim. I did go with a wider tire, 305/40/22. Maybe it's the offset that is throwing you off. Some people told me that would be too wide, but no rubbing issues as of yet. Also, I don't know if you know, but Intro custom makes every wheel for your specific application. I had to wait about 3 1/2 weeks for these to be done. I saw a lip on a 10" rim, man it was sick! Late- Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I just prefer a squared off tire on the rim, hence I could tell that these were pulled in. If that was a 10" rim, I was going to have to adjust my percieved layout. Look at it this way, you've got great curb protection. ;) Again, looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like that because I went with a 305 instead of a 285 on a 8.5" rim. I thought the same thing as you when I first saw it mounted on my truck, now it's growing on me. The main reason for the 305 is because only two companies make a 285/40/22 and both would have taken weeks to get. Why 5 months????
