Thread: Questions About Tires

Tweet

Okay, I'm going to ask a serious question I have for you because you're not the first one to be asking this type of question. I'm trying to figure out why folks will do this to themselves.

You have the car. The only way to know if a wheel/tire combo will fit is to measure the actual vehicle, yet you take the word of someone who hasn't done that. And now you're seeking the feedback/opinion of others who don't have access to the vehicle. Why do this? Help me out here..........I don't get it!

I guess the right answer would be how much work do you want to do. ANY TIRE will fit if your willing to work (pay) for it

One other thing is that air shocks are not really made to give you any substantial lift, like some people use them. They are made to simply give you extra load carrying capacity, and maybe add a little height to the rear. But I see guys using them to really jack up the rear or even worse, as the only rear supports on cars like T buckets (in place of coilovers)

The problem is that they can blow out if overextended or sometimes the threaded mounting studs will break off, and suddenly drop the car. If you have to jack the car up that far to get the tires under it, you have the wrong tires/wheels.

Yes i can return the tires if they do not fit and it is one of my good friends that owns the tire store here in my town and has owned it for about 10 years. I would only assume that he would know but i also wanted some different oppinions and maybe hoping that somebody here maybe had the same car and would know what to do if not but thanks for all of the advise it was very helpful.
