Hey guys so I want to do a new tires and rim combo. I like the stance that the pro street style have. I don't want to go to crazy with hacking the beday or the rear axle but how wide of tires can I fit under the truck without any mods with stock f100 flex of matic leafs??

 

Someone on here had some drag radials that were near 325/65 ... but I don't know exactly.

 

Here is a link to that discussion:

A guy in my town has a 78 with stock susp. With 30/12r15 but I kinda wanted to go wider I saw a wicked 55 210 the other day at the pumps and u stopped and looked at his car he had 29x15.5r15 but the thing was all tubbed out and had a 4 link the whole works! There's just something about a wide set of meats that I just gotta have!!!

 

Then I guess it's time to cut, chop, and weld.

 

So I am to assume that a 15 inch wide tire will not fit with out mods

 

I haven't tried any that large so I can't say yes or no. That 315/60R15 drag radial is only 13.4" wide.

I love the look of super wide slicks tucked up under a body, but I'm not doing that to mine at this time. I first want to do a land speed run, then I'll change back to acceleration style. I can't get my tires to stick right now.

 

Where did you buy your 315s? And in your opinion is a drag radials a good street able tire

 

Those aren't my 315's, I have some 29" Mickey Thompson Radials, don't remember the exact size and the truck is at a friend's place getting painted.

The guy asking in that other thread said they aren't going to last vey long. You can't have both extreme traction and extreme durability.

 

Well it's more of a street truck than anything. I'm trying to find some 315/60r15 that is a street radial but no such luck come up

 

LOL...did you read that other thread? That's what was figured out.

 

Just took a look at the pictures in one of my albums and a caption says the tires are 275/60R15

 

LOL yeah I did buy was under the assumption that the thread was olDer and that something has come up since but I didn't realize how new the thread was. I often finding myself reading threads that end up being 5 plus years old haha

 

How do I look at your pictures??

 

295 is about as wide as will fit in the rear without rubbing. Wider than that and your gonna have to change stuff. This has been discussed numerous times...
