i have to admit with the pictures i saw of yours the trucks look more realistic with the 1.9s. so i need advice as to where is the best and least expensive place to buy the wheels and tires. thanks again. i noticed in one of your pics that you had 1.9s on 2.2 rims can i do that?

what state are you located in? with going with 1.9s you can have a great looking rig, and are you looking for the Toyota Hilux body? |

As far as mounting the 1.9 tires on 2.2 rims, i wouldn't recommend it. The rim is wider than the tire & the tires tend to shift. They never stay centered. The reason you see them was my mistake. I purchased the wrong sized rims. I noticed after i mounted them and took photos. The rest of my time after the photos was spent unscrewing each of the beadlock screws. OH JOY! BTW i think the 1.9 size is more realistic but you cant beat the 2.2 traction or extra ground clearance. That's why i often swap both. Last edited by Lobonyc; 01-29-2011 at 11:38 AM. | |
