Im getting 2 new tires on monday for my truck. I have 305/50/20s on it now but they rub in the frount so im going to stay with those in the frount but im thinking about puting 315s or maybe even 325s in the rear for better traction. Anyone put that wide of a tire on these rims?

305 is already pushing it on the stock wheels. You can make wider ones fit thanks to the flex in the sidewall but it will hurt handling. I don't know if it'll rub anything in the back or not.

I assume you're doing this for looks because 305 is more than enough tread for adequate traction.

The sidewalls are what im worried about on turns ... And no I have bad traction problems ... When im spraying my nitrous the truck rips through 1st and second and sometimes a little bit of third then I hook. I dont even bother spraying in first anymore because the wheel spin is to bad!!
