I am considering these: https://tiresize.com/tires/Mickey-Thompson/Baja-MTZ-Radial-375-65R16.htm
I see a few trucks with tires that seem to be 15'' wide rolling around here, and they look pretty cool.
But, I haven't been able to talk with any of them to see how "Grabby" the steering might be.
And on my Quigley, I wonder if I would ever be able to get the alignment anywhere close to satisfactory.
As pricey as they are, I would really appreciate some feedback, from those THAT KNOW!
However, I would need to find another offset rim for a spare, and figure out the best place to carry it.
Most likely center-rear roof.
I already have some 8 lug 16'' x 10'' rims with an 2'' negative offset. Once I
get my front hubs machined down to eliminate the DRW spacer, (the same as in the pic) it should have the
rotor tucked just inside the rim, as is normal. (the same as in the pic) I prefer to not run spacers, that is
why I picked up these rims.
From my rudimentary measurements, it will put the front WMS about 1'' inside of the rears. So hopefully,
the turning radius won't be an issue.
And the rear tires will still be just inside the box. But, the rotors will be exposed. I'm well aware that
the wheel inertia should be closer to inside of the rim, but.........
On these 10' rims, they will be around 36' tall, so I am right at the limit for my 4:10 gears,
especially being just under 11k in weight.
And yes, I have recently bought a 26 row trans cooler ($50 at a junk yard), that I will install sooner, than later.
With all the increased torque from engine mods and taller ratios in the rear make the tranny/drive line
the weak link. I get that.
I guess what I am asking is: What is the minimum WMS "required" to run these tires on my front?
