I get a discount through work on tires working at the dealership, I'm going to have them run prices on km2's and duratrac's

Dude, I dont know if they have discount tire/americas tire where your at, but what you can do is price the tires out online (i usually use tirerack.com) and include shiping to your zipcode, print out the price, and discount tires will match that price.

He works at a dealership. If the parts manager isn't a turd, he can get really nice prices.

 

[y5mgisi]

What size are you getting prices for?

 

[Babaganoosh]

I'll be getting prices for 33's

 

[y5mgisi]

So 305/70-16's?

 

[Babaganoosh]

yup, I really want to run 8 lug rims so im thinking about converting the front to 8 lug until i can find a 14bolt for the rear.

 

[y5mgisi]

That would be a good choice.

 

[Babaganoosh]

I want to run those polished 8 lug factory wheels off the newer trucks. Something about those on a older truck that looks great.

 

[y5mgisi]

I like them too! I would like to have them on the burb.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Got the bumps last night they look great. I found a 8 lug swap setup for 175 dollars, everything is new. Does the same setup work on a 10 bolt and dana44? Is this a good deal?

 

[y5mgisi]

Yes, and pretty good.

AHHHHHH

With those factory 16" aluminum wheels i bet you could run 315 or something that measures out to 35. Alot of the fender rubbing can be caused by the offset and wide wheels say with a 10" wide rims. But i think the ones you are thinking if are 7" maybe 8".

 

[max 02]

The PYO'S... are 6.5 inch wide.

I'm most likely going 8 lug and running the newer style wheels.

These more specific.

They are a 16x6.5

 

[andyblack]

What's the backspacing on those? I'm guessing 4.5". That's too much for your truck, I think.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Not sure yet need to find out soon.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Found the specs on the PY0 factory wheels for the NBS
16x6.5 offset 29MM backspacing is 4-7/8"

The factory 16 inch wheels are 16x6.5 having trouble tracking down the backspacing or offset so I set it as 0 in the calculator. I'm pretty sure it's positive so this is worst case.

Let me know what you guys think.

Here is a picture of a stock truck on those wheels with i think 285/75 16s.
