Yay Slots!

Sometimes it's worth searching a while for the right Wheels and Tyres. I recently found a set of Eight Lug 16.5"X8.25" Alloys in a Turbo Vec Style for my Jeep,there out there somewhere.

I had 235/60/14 on the rear of my Dart when I had slots.

I could get 245s in the same, but chickened out due to potential rubbing issues (not an issue on the Duster).

Not sure, but I think I read somewhere that 235/245 was the biggest you could safely go on 7" rims!

Looks much better on the slots Jeff!

These are 265 50 14 and fit fine.

Another vote for the Slots, I like Cragars, but in this case the Slots are spot on

Those look epic Jeff... squeeze as much rubber as you can on...

Jesus.......that's pushing it for 50 sidewalls mate.

10.4" width tyre on 7" rim with only 4.75" of rubber from rim to tread each side........

Take it easy.........

I would prefer 55 or 60 profile, But think I am going to take whatever I can find! Gawd knows if I will find any. They are BFG's on there at the moment.
