Ok, crap.
I get all the way out to the jy in Stillwater this morning, what do I find? A big fat CLOSED sign on the gate! A salvage yard that closes on the weekend.......
"But, since your out here", my brother says.....
I'm thinking I was suckered. Spent the next few hours moving sht. My brother is the oldest of eight kids, and I'm the youngest. He turned 65 last year and can play the "I'm getting old" routine with me.
He's my brother, I love him, he helped me back when I was a DS teenager. My turn to payback.
When a person is 53, he shouldn't be looked at as the kid that can do the crap work, should he? Wait, I think I'm going to cry
.
Ok, I did grab a set of Goodyear F1 tires from my brother he had sitting at his shop though. These tires are 285/35/19's. The widest part of the tire measures right at 12". That's about 305mm's at the widest. I still have almost two full inches of space in the tubs. I believe I will go with a 315 just to play it safe. Though, I do like the 19" wheel size.
I will be using a 245 with eighteens on the front.
Anyhow, for the whores, here's pictures with the 285's stuffed up in the tub, look at all that room!
The place where the tire would come in contact now is immediately above the seat belt bracket, and about three inches behind the shock tower. I could change that, but I'm not.
Keep in mind, 315/30/19's will be a little taller than these by about an inch.
