so im doing new tires and might do new wheels, so i was wondering where i could get a cheap wheel and tire package for under 850... i want a bit of offset on my wheels, and if i dont do the new wheels (most likely some cragar soft 8s or something) i would wanna throw some 285/75/16 terra grapplers, but on a stock truck i know they would rub, so i figured id use some 5/16 wheel spacers, safe idea? what would you guys recomend?
thanks
Jake

 

I cant even get new tires for under $800. IDK how the hell you are gonna get new wheels and tires for under $800!

285/75/16 tires will barely rub at full turn on our trucks.

 

how can you not get new tires under $800?


with soft 8s, you could prob squeeze under 8....depending on the tires....dont know where you could get a package deal tho

 

285's dont rub? i thought they did at full turn?

 

No way you're going to get 285 tires and wheels for under $850. Even the cheapest 16" tires are going to run you $125 a tire plus mounting, balancing and tax and the cheapest 16" wheels I've seen were $100 each, but I wouldn't want them on my truck. And spacers are a no-no on an off-road truck.

Them's cheap wheels alrighty!

Personally, I wouldn't even consider running a tire as big as a 285 on a steel wheel. Look at the load difference between a steel wheel and even a cheap alloy wheel.

 

Check craigslist often and you can find some killer deals
