Truck currently has 22's, 32"x9.5" tires are like new. I have a set of 17's that need tires.
I am lowering the truck and am concerned about the 22's rubbing, mostly the front.
The truck is going to be a nice summer driver, taken to shows and dragged occasionally. I have another truck that is my daily which I will use to haul the Ram any distance to race.
Current options;
1: Run the 22's and hope they don't rub.
2: Get a set of tires for the 17's. Those tires will almost surely be shorter and narrower. That will actually lower the truck a little extra, but possibly less traction on the track. Rpm change isn't enough to worry about as long as I stay around 30". I can get a pair for the rear that are 30"x8.7", and some fronts that are 30"x7". I like the wide rear, narrow front tire look. I'm not sure how those will hook, so I could...
3: Get a pair of rear tires just for the track. Those could also be shorter giving me a little extra rpm.
4: Go to 20", those seem to be more money but also more popular, so more sizes.
5: ????Advice????
Thanks.
