tires are cheaper in 15's

 

I have some 11x28" rims you can have for free, all you have to do is pick them up, only two though, and they need centres. I use one of them as a fire ring so it may be a bit warped aside from the rust. They're cut too, so they need some welding and some rust repairs. They're also canola yellow/rust coloured and fit really friggin' big tires (somewhere around 5' tall, not sure exactly).

 

20s are soo old this is whats new

 

That picture just made my day.

 

lol whats wrong with Toyota 1's Tacoma???..i think it looks great..but it would look amazing with black 17's..or chrome and black..

like i said before..you're opinion doesn't matter to me..lol personally i hate the look of stock vehicles, every vehicle i have ever owned has been customized to a certain extent...

and just because i have bigger rims doesn't mean im not going to go offroad....because i WILL!..my friend just bought a set of 20x10 XD Rockstars for his '06 half ton dodge..he has a leveling kit on the front..and is about to get a 4in lift and some 33's..and believe me..he does NOT baby that truck..we've already had it burried to the frame (and my toyota was the hero and pulled him out )

i hate the look of a lifted 2wd truck..i think it's pointless..but the guys who drive them don't care because it looks awesome to them...well i love the look of bigger rims on a DD/weekend wheeler rig...

and i wanna get some actual bedlocks..but alas they are illegal LOL..i think KMC has a "beadlock" ring that you can bolt onto them...never seen one though LOL

TO EACH THEIR OWN!!!!

 

ok 24's and

 

^ you think mine really looks that bad lol ?

 

ha i like the tail pipes on it.

 

Cool Go for it Camo, remeber PICSPICSPICS.

 

Remember* even

 

lol no problem teuf..will be LOTS of pics..i'm already starting to think of a color to paint the Steelies that are on it right now..i'm knight Chrome look...lol...or just a gloss black lol

 

and that green Tacoma is horribly ugly...like trash....i dont like it in my thread.LMFAO

 

If you ignore the wheels it ain't so bad. Kinda odd for minivan green to be on a truck, but to each his own I suppose, at least it's not house paint like my cab. I think he house I grew up in had the exact same awful light blue paint on it's aluminum siding.

 

I realize this post has had nearly no usefull information so perhaps its a bad time to start but there are a few good "technical" reasons if you will to stick with smaller rims:

Cushion provided by tires that will actually hold a few pounds of air. There is a significant ride quality difference off road between my 33x12.50-15 summer tires and my 245/75-15 winter tires.

Tires with a significant sidewall profile are more capable of conforming to uneven terrain like rocks, sticks etc. than a tire will a small sidewall profile. They can also be run at lower pressures safely to add to conformation on hard surfaces or provide a little more float on soft surfaces. Let much air out of a small profile tire and it won't be on the bead for very long.

Not saying bigger rims wount work at all for wheelin or won't look cool, just saying if you want maximum wheelability i'd stick to 15/16" rims.

 

dang, beat me to it
Thats absolutely right, going to a bigger rim will compromise your offroad performance, no way around it

 

you guys....im talking about running 17's or 18's AT MOST...with 33's for a while..but eventually 35's or 36's.....i don't do any rockcrawling..a few mud trails but that's it..i don't ever air down..so i'm pretty sure i'll be ok...i mean it's only 2" at most....

 

I know , those rims are kinda like, I need some new ones.

 

 

anybody else?!?

 

I put my 15" rims on, carrying 195/65R15s (25") yokohama snows. Much closer to the stock size (24.9") than the 185/70R14s (24.2") that were on it. An inch more diameter is still bigger, right?
