stretched tires

[Ohio5pt7]

Guess I'll go with the 14.5 wide tires on a 8 wide rim so I can float since I know the cool kids do that

how is towing with this set up?

I wouldn't tow anything more than about a wave runner...this should also make the payload police happy as most are thoroughly convinced that's all a half should tow anyways...lol
Check the load capacity of the rims, they may not be rated for enough for the added weight while towing. With the really low profile rubber, it doesn't give you much if any ability to deal with road imperfections.
Another thing to keep in mind with the tires stretched, they probably need to be de-rated as your not running them near the rated specifications. Keep in mind any "P" type tire needs to be de-rated 10% normally when used on a truck.

and this seems really practical

Hey OP, maybe something like this will me more functional ? My eyes are hurting badly either way lol but i think more people will like this than the stretchy thing. Dude for real that chit is beyond ugly not counting the fact that offers no function

My question is why not get a 10" rim if the cost of wider tires is the issue. I've seen a 12.5 on a 12" rim and it looks odd to me so a 14" would look even more odd IMHO.

Made my decision 24x14 with 33x14.5r24s thanks for input even from the haters. And for what it's worth truck is coming off of DD duty to become more of a show truck and maybe tow 3-4 times a year.

24" wheels and 33" tires? Let us know how it turns out for you.

a P metric tire does not need to be "derated" just because it's on a truck.
a tire load capacity is it's capacity, vehicle doesn't matter.

Wow that was alot of photos....

And a lot of f/up driving on the road toward you!

Huh?

Actually I shouldn't talk, I'm running a 275/60 on a 11" wide wheel...
Hypocrisy aha

Do you think I just made that up?

However, there is an idiosyncrasy governing the use of Euro-metric and P-metric sized tires on vans, pickup trucks, crossovers and SUVs because these vehicles have a higher center of gravity and greater probability of being overloaded than passenger cars. In order to accommodate this, vehicle engineers are required to specify Euro- or P-metric sized tires rated to carry 10% more weight than would be required if they were used on a passenger car. This is the equivalent of taking the tire's load capacity branded on its sidewall and dividing it by 1.1. For example, a Euro- or P-metric tire designated to carry 2,000 pounds on a car is restricted to carrying 1,818 pounds when used on a van, pickup truck, crossover and SUV. This size selection practice provides the vehicle manufacturer with the appropriate tire load capacity.

FMVSS No. 120 also contains a requirement related to the use of passenger car tires on vehicles other than passenger cars. The requirement states that when a tire that is subject to FMVSS No. 109 is installed on a multipurpose passenger vehicle, truck, bus, or trailer, the tire's load rating must be reduced by a factor of 1.10 by dividing by 1.10 before determining whether the tires on an axle are adequate for the GAWR. This 10 percent de-rating of P-metric tires provides a greater load reserve when these tires are installed on vehicles other than passenger cars. The reduction in the load rating is intended to provide a safety margin for the generally harsher treatment, such as heavier loading and possible off-road use, that passenger car tires receive when installed on a MPV, truck, bus or trailer, instead of on a passenger car.

Ouch!!!............LoL

Here are the tires I'm going with so no stretch. Now to decide on wheels hmmm I really like the american force Libertys but I also like the arkon Lincolns and they are 2k cheaper lol.

My god this thread is GREAATTTTTT.

FYI, a 14" wide wheel is actually 15" bead to bead.
