Went from the stock size 245's to 255's. I could have gone bigger but I like this look better

Before:



After:




You see the baby stretch in the first picture, that was due to me fitting the 245's onto PF01's. I had just bought the tires and didnt feel like spending money to replace perfectly good rubber. Well after my GF curbed my front wheel the other week I figured it was a sign to buy so wider tires.


A huge thanks to Rishie over at Auto RND in Freemont. Ordered the new wheel, the tires and gave me a great deal on both. He even mounts and balances, a full service shop!

Stock size is 225, is that what you had before? And you went to 255/45?

too bad you didn't go with 265, if she hits the curb again with any speed you will be dead meat again as there isn't that much protection

yes, but now i have a spare pf01. Just need to send it out to get repaired!

I need new rubber soon too, mine's getting thin. How much wide you could go with stock wheels... 275?

245 or 255/40

245/40 max on the oem wheels... stock dd 8 doesn't need anymore grip than that; you'd just be burning mpg's.

I'll go with the wide look next time, thanks.
