Andres629's still at it! '87 BII this time!

[kris97ranger]

speaking of all the tires how are the mtr-k's doing for you? traction in mud snow etc and how are they wearing

 

[Andres629]

No idea on mud... there's still snow on the ground, dood. But in the snow they work great! Rocks too. Not too big on mud, so that's not really a huge deal for me.

Dude these tires are fan-friggin-tastic. I can't believe you're asking the man who copied my choice instead of me

It was what.... two days later you got them Andres:icon_rofl:

Haha, yeah something like that. Though, I didn't get mine on 'til a few months later... And he''s asking me 'cause I actually wheel mine, Mike.
I wish they made a 37 in a 15" rim still. Grr, that was stupid, Good Year.

Well played:icon_twisted:

same thing for the km2's...a 37 is only availible in a 17

though if you ask over on pirate....17's are the new 15's...

 

[Andres629]

I KNOW. Ridiculous if you ask me... what possible advantage other than fitting them over ton brakes with no grinding is there to running a 17?!

I am still thinking of buying Andrew's rims, too... but I have free 15" steelies.

 

[86 slo-vo]

i need some 15" steelies myself....my 36's have been sitting there for a year just waiting

 

[kris97ranger]

I think it has to do with the fact that not many trucks are made in a 15" rim anymore even rangers are up to 16's ( I think correct me if I'm wrong) so the tire companys don't make a tire to fit a 15" rim unless you go to interco or somthing along those lines

[MountainMike]

You didn't tell me your shop was in space Andrew

 

[Andres629]

Yayyyyy. Andrew, thanks for the pics. Getting me even more stoked!

 

[kris97ranger]

so how much lift are you going to try and get into this thing? or do you want to leave it as low as you can

 

[Andres629]

I'm going to try and get only 1-2" more lift than I currently have, so... 5-6" over stock. But I plan on going up to a 37-38. Likely a 38, so that's about an extra 1.5" from what I have now.

 

[railman]

will look killer when done.....

and a low COG is always good.....
