do they rub ? how much

Wed Sep 06, 2006 4:32 pm

They're by "NANCO" (made in China) 7.00x15's. They're a little heavy (8ply rated) but have been "bullit proof" on the front of my Baja. Got mine from Moore parts as I recall.

Actually I believe those are Yokohamas, they have a very unique tread pattern.

Here, stock wheels with 7.00x15's mounted on them. Yes they rub, not much you can do about that. I will get a picture of my 30/9.50r15's mounted on stock wheels.

Let me clarify that. My tires rub on the inner fender well, just like all the rest of your cars.

Fasthoe, we live in AZ. You can make anything street legal. And the rest of you Homo's that live in Az, why am I the only off road car that goes to the cruise at Sonic. Sorry to hi jack this thread, but is anyone else going to Jerome next weekend?
