Hello again. I'm currently looking to purchase some tires and in BigNorm fassion I'm trying to do it cheap! My father in law works at a pawn shop and showed me a set of 315/75R16s. They look like aggresive tread Wild Country Tires. I priced a new set of Rockcrawlers that would fit the tires and the wheels would run me about $285.70 to my door. I'm thinking this may be worth it if I can get the tires cheap. I'm hoping between $100- $150. The tires looked to have about 3/4 tread left. Whutcha guys think? NORM

You realize that 16's are gonna be more expensive once you wear out those new/used tires.

Course, if you can keep finding deals.

315/75/16's should be right about 34.6".

I'm not gonna lose the 15x8's!

sounds like a plan to me... then whenever you run these down to the belts you have twice the selection for used tires in the future! where are you gettin the wheels?

If all this goes I'll probably be gettin them from 4wheel Parts Warehouse. Does anyone know where to get them cheaper? NORM

the rockcrawlers are a ****ty brand of wheel. i watched all 4 of mine when i got them on the balancer(just rims) and i watched them spin. they where out of round about a 1/4 inch.

you still looking for that 2.5BS norm, or are you given up on that? i knwo a company that will do that for the 16 inch wheels.

I'll go with the 4.25s. I liked the stance but you said it sucked and others seem to do fine on the 4.25 Backspacing. I'm just trying to get there on a steep budjet. I have 4.56 gears that need instalation and I managed to get those, the install kit and the new carrier for the D44 for $200. I hope my bud Todd is not the Devill because I think I'd owe him my soul for all he's done for me.

I owe him big and will help him anyway I can. He's going to do a Superlift on on his Bronco soon. NORM
