big wheels

It finally dawned on my dumb *** why this kept getting bumped. Folks were voting without replying.

As to the big wheel debate, it comes down to personal preference. Your car, build it your way. You're the only one you have to satisfy.

That being said, it's also a matter of practicality sometimes and the long term savings.

Take for instance, my '78 F250. Finding 16.5" tires is a pain in the ***. Step up to 18" wheels and I have a broad range of tire selection, manufactures, and prices to take into account to get good E-rated tires.

I sat down and did the math once upon a time for my Ramcharger. Factory shod with 31X10.5's. I could buy a set of 16" wheels for it with appropriately sized 16" tires for about the same amount (give or take) as it would take to shod the truck with a set of good factory size 15's. The next set of tires would actually turn out to be cheaper.

And that's just the two trucks.

That's not taking into account the project cars, all of which will be seeing suspension upgrades and a lot more horsepower.
