When I first got the 32 running, it had 7" x 14" slot mags up front with a pair of 185/70R-14 BFG's.
It handled pretty good.
Later on, I found a pair of 5 1/2" x 14" slot mags and stuck on a pair of 195/70R-14 BFG's.
The larger tire due to I wanted a little more ground clearance.
That due to the 2nd pair of front tires - on the 7" wide wheels were metric - still 185/70R-14 and had a smaller diameter than did the original 185 non-metrics.
Handlling changes - if any - were imperceptible with any of the tire/wheel swaps.
Next set of front tires will be skinnier than the BFG's, but I'm not sure what brand yet.Last edited by C9x; 12-04-2006 at 07:50 AM.
