Widest low pro tire

[flatblack]

Right now i have 255/50/16's on the back, i'm looking for a wider low profile tire to stick on the back....what size should i be looking for? i was thinkin something like 245/45/16 the 255 is too tall and the sidewall is a little too tall for me, i'm looking for that low fat rear end look, i want the tires to kinda hang off the sides of the rim...any suggestions??

i dont really know how wide the rims are but you could use this chart to see how wide of a tire you could use on what rims. hope it helps. plus i really like this tire.

just find how wide of a tire you would like than look at rim width range

I have 245/45/ZR16 Toyo Proxes T1-S tires on mine. I had 245/50/r16 Toyo FZ4's before my new ones and the tire is the same width but is about a 1/2 inch shorter. I don't currently have any pics, but I might get some this weekend after I wash it.

aight cool man....post some pic i wanna see once what they look like.....

[flatblack]

what do those T1-S's run a piece?

[LilYellowZQ8]

I payed $112 a piece and thats my cost. I believe they run anywhere from $160+ retail.

I would say take your choice of any 245/50/16. They are a little shorter overall compared to your stock 235/55/16. There really isnt any other choice wider than that in a low profile. I might go with 255/50s or 265/50s, but I'm not looking for a low profile like you are. Sombody needs to make a 275/45/16. That would be perfect.

I finally washed my truck and took a pic of the tires. Putting the 245/45/zr16's dropped my truck a 1/2 inch on top of the 4/4 drop.

thats pretty cool, could you take a picture from the back so i can see how wide they look??

I have a 245/40/18 on a 18x8 on the front so they would have the same width as LilYelloZQ8's. Here are a few pics, you can sorta make out the inside outline of the front tire.

ya, but what size do you have on the back, thats what i'm lookin to change...forget the front...your back tires look sic!!

[s10cyncrvr]

The back is a 295/35/ZR18 on a 18x9.5". It's going to be tough finding a wide low-profile tire for a 16" wheel. Just doing some quick searching on tirerack, a 245/45/16 looks to be your best bet. Unless you want to bump up to a 17" or bigger wheel....

[s10cyncrvr]

Another thing to look at is the tread pattern. The right pattern can make a tire look wider then it actually is. Sorta an optical illusion.

ahhh cool, thanks man!!
