I'm looking for that kind of setup on my baja. Just wondering if anyone could take a stab at what size wheels you think those are in the back. Thanks.

So is it like an eye illusion that the back rim looks bigger than the front one because the tire is bigger?

Oh and I'd also like to say thanks. This actually helps my decision more. Is that setup the same as on this baja?

the angle that the picture was taken at, also helps with the illusion of the rear wheel being larger.

Yes, sorta, kinda...The back looks biigger because the tires is probably a good 4" taller and 3" wider than the front. The wheels are probably 15x 5.5 up front and 15 x 8 in the back. The tire sizes are probably close to 235/75/15 up front and the rears are 31"x10.5/15.

Both are nice looking bajas

I would be down with that offer, but I only need two and I'd like 15x8 in the back.

Oh and, on that red baja.. are the tires on the front the same kind of tire that is on the back (the BFGoodrich Radials) just smaller?

I forgot to ask also.. do they make AR Baja wheels in 15x5? I looked them up and I the lowest I can find is a 15x7 so far.
