New Tires and Rims.

[That Baker Guy]

hey guys havent been around much on account of school and such, but by the time school is out im going to need new tires. about a year ago i got Uniroyal Tiger Paws and they went fast....

any way instead of keeping the 14in rims i want to go up a size to 15's on account of im in college they gotta be cheap. im looking at Cragar Soft 8's either black or chrome and tread wright retread tires, unless i can find a good deal on craigslist locally. what do yall think?

iv heard good things about tread wrights but my dad doesnt think its a good idea.

as far as rims go i want 15's but idk what size 15x?

Here's my truck currently what would look better chrome or black rims?

i think the chrome would look better. 235s would be ok. are u going for the off road thing or kinda in the middle?

For stock size tires, stick with a 15x7 rim.

it would be mainly street, but i live in mississppi so the roads arent great. i would like an at but nothing too aggressive because i wont need it. but it would be nice to have on some occasions. i would like to go as big as possible just so it would look good.

i would get an 8" rim because if you ever want to go bigger you won't be stuck with 7" rims. as for tires a 235 will look good

What kind of back spacing would I need?

4.25 is stock, most off-roaders prefer something a bit wider, like 3.75... but anything in that range should be good. 235s are a good size tire.
Treadwright tires are very well liked by everyone around here who uses 'em. There are lots of posts on them around.

4in is the lowest they go so ill probably get those, what is offset?
