ANother FNG quEStioN?

Tires (bIAs WHite WaLLs) what all the numbers mean... 6.5, 700, 8.5... can some one help me? Will this info give me the tire hight? Thanks guys! yours truely FNG>

 

6.5 is rim edge to tread...height...add that twice and then add the rim size and you have full tire height.

 

thanks! I thought thats what is was, but had to ask the stupid ? any ways.

 

Coker lists actual diameters for their tires on its web site.

 

HAMBERS, thanks for the info, ill check cokers web page. Im looking for a rake look on my AD cheby truck, Im picturing 26" tires in front and larger (28-29") diameter tires in the rear. Just to let you guys know, Im going with a front and rear suspension off of a C4 84-87 corvette. YES IFS and IRS. let me know what you guys would do on a 47-54 truck, as far as wheel and tire combo.

 

now don't take this as me being a dick, I'm just trying to gain some insight into your build... why would you go to the trouble of putting in the Vette stuff, (I'm guessing for handling) and then put on big and lil bias tires?

 

First off, I got the suspension for nothing. I called around for MII front clip and I was looking @ $1200... To make a long story short, I got the cross members for both front and rear from a guy by the name of DON MCNEIL (flat out engineering). He makes a front and rear cross member for $1400+. With this set up I can go with a traditional look (WHITE WALLS) or a dub look (20's-22's) and air bags, on all four. Either way I hope it handles better than it did, having fun is what its all bout. Know you know. By the way, Richard has nothing to do with this.
