20 Inch Style 168 wheels
 
I am ordering new 20 inch staggered 168's and Toyo Proxes ST ll tires. My question is this, since I have a 2005 4.4 without the rear fender flares or the rear 4.8 bumper kit, should i order 295's for the rear tires, or 315's? Will the 315's stick out to much?

Hi Essam.. I know you have the 315 with the 87style rims.

We talked about it before, but just need to make sure cause the authorites here are quite anal.

When looking from above, does any of the driving section of the tyre stick further out then the side panel..

By driving section i mean the part of the tyre which is in contact with the road while driving.. (limited english)

Thanks.

ekvals, when you say "looking from above" do you mean as if I on the roof of the car?
If yes, the tyre is not visible outside the fender ... just tell me exactly what do u need to see and I will take a pic for you tomorrow morning

ekvals 04-22-2009 05:40 PM

Yea, thats what i mean..

As in if you had a line 90 degrees on the fender, and nothing of the part i described earlier is showing..

Soory im a bit slow about this, but if i order new wheels, i wanna make sure i dont get a fine if stopped by the police.

I promise to get you a pic tomorrow morning
We officially hijacked the thread :D

you can get the rear fender flares to make sure...

Thanks Essam..I guess we did..;)


I was hoping not needing to install new flares. I recently repainted the car, and i also painted the current flares..
