wouldnt you need to put a lift on your truck to fit the tires in?

swamp_life hemi 05 · Nov 1, 2011

I've got a 6" rc lift with 3" coil spacers right now. I'm actually 10 over stock.

doesnt look like they have 70% looks more closer to 50%
so wouldnt be worth it IMO
you can keep the stock gearing, though the acceleration would be noticeably decreased. but to spin them badboys might as well go with 4.56

Yea I called the guy and he said 70%, but I haven't seen them in person. I know they'll last a while. A buddy of mine has had the same set for 4 yrs. And I still want to keep somewat of decent mileage lol so 4.56 would put it close enough to stock?

not sure on that. there is calculation you can do to see, but idk what it is. 4.56 would probably be the best though.

I would check them out what is it going to hurt?

Yea he owns a tire and accessory shop, I told him I'd go check them out on Thursday. Hopefully someone on here has the chart for tire size to gear ratio. I know a lot of ppl on here have this size or close lol

imo used tires are never a good deal... I would low ball and offer him $400.

HemiBabe · Nov 1, 2011

$500 at the most

swamp_life hemi 05 · Nov 1, 2011

i don't think it is a good deal...if you go by the pic on the left, they are worn more than the pic on the right.

I have 4.56 with my 34's If you plan on 37's and up then look at 4.88's Only us 2wd guys can use them.

Why can 2wd guys only use the 4.88???? I heard about having to modify th pumpkin bc of the size of the ring..... Is that it?

No you just file down the teeth or something. Same thing for 4.56.

And the reason being is 4.88s won't fit in the front of 4x4. 4.88 would fit rear but they would never be able to engage 4x4 on dry pavement lol. Eff up some stuff.

WhiteExpress · Nov 1, 2011

I agree with $500 at the most.

What gears / tire size did you have stock. I can punch it into my calculator for ya!

swamp_life hemi 05 · Nov 2, 2011

3.55, the stock 275/65 r20

swamp_life hemi 05 · Nov 2, 2011

Well guys, it was NOT a good deal! But the guy is hooking me up with a set of Cooper Discoverer STT 33X12.50R20's mounted and balanced......... For $1416.00 out the door!!!!! These are brand new, no used tires for me. Don't know much about these but they are some aggressive looking tires! Pics will come tomorrow after I get them mounted, and get the truck all washed up lol
