Depends on what truck. But with a 9" wheel I'm sure you want at least 265 wide.

Look at different tires from the manufacturer web site and see what tires is meant for a 9" wide wheel. I'm fairly certain a 245 tire is too skinny for a 9" wheel. Perhaps in a 40 series tire, a 9" wide is okay. But the manufacture of the tire will give you accurate info.

Again, depends on your truck and what size overall diameter you want.

 

Buddy is going to be upset. He has these wheels lol.

 

I was thinking the same thing!

 

It's a 2wd sl. No flares as of yet. I thought perhaps 275.. but....

A 245/40-18 is about 25.7" tall. Probably shorter than your stock tire.

I'm going to take a guess and say your current stock size is 225 wide but I can't begin to guess at what the height is. With a tire about an inch wider with a similar backspace it is likely to fit, but I can't say for sure.

Here is a website to help you learn about tire sizes and backspace.

Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

 

I'll have to take a look at the truck during lunch to confirm the current sizes. There is a high chance these wheels will go a deep bronze color. Might try some plastic dip to experiment.

The rims on my drz are a shade between black and bronze and I have come to really like it. Fellow riders comment on now nice they are and different. So that may be the theme I may go with this set.

Update.. I got a chance to head out to the truck and see what's the factory size it it now. I'm running a 15x6 steel wheel with a 205/70/15. As soon as the wheels get in I'll get them on and see where the lip comes out to. If buddy cn chime in with what he runs and how they fit in relation to the fender would be great. Man... I need to stop typing on the phone and use the laptop at home. My English isn't what it should be!

I got a chance to day to compare the tire setups on RimsnTires... That website is really useful.

if I run a 275 all around. I will be stick out approx 1.6 inches further than my factory steel wheels. it looks SO close.

 

wheels scheduled for delivery today! should see em in person in the morning. CAN't WAIT!

The rears stick out about 1-1/2 inches. Two options... pull the bed sides out and install a zq8 flare or.... put on z71s..

Looks pretty cool. I had a Mach 1 before my rado with 18x10s wrapped in 295s. Looked like steam rollers.

Alright guys. I'm alittle nervous on doing some tugging on the front fenders as there's less area to stretch but then it's probly doable. Here's the pics to better describe my current look.

They make a fender roller that does it for you. Some places rent them out. It's painless and manual and has geometry that are adjustable for just the right look.

I'm not upset guys. I'm a trend starter :lol:
Let me give u some advice.
I'm dropped obviously 4/4
U made a big mistake going 275/40 all around if u plan to achieve a "nice" drop.
I'm running 245/40 up front with zq8s flares and it sits pretty nice. I'm running 275/40 in the back with zq8s flares and it sticks out a tad. I will be fixing it with a light pull on the b edsides to sit flush. I'm running the same nt555s
I can see that without the flares and with the wide tires up front u with have a few fitment problems and it will rub if u go too low




***fender roller won't work too well since are fenders are not circular

 

***fender roller won't work too well since are fenders are not circular

Fender roller will work, just put on more backside of fender vs lip.
You may have to adjust because of not being a complete round circle.
So just find out where circle ends and just adjust a little further out to reach same spot on the back side as the more circular area.
Just use a little common sense when doing it.

Here's the pic of one. In Phoenix they rent them for $15 an hour or $45 for a day. Well worth the money so as to not ruin your fenders.

Do work son. Gonna look bitchin when its dropped.

 

A roll prob won't be enough for the amount that it sticks out especially in the back without flares. Trust me I know. I own the same set
