| 1.9 or 2.2
So I'm gathering parts for a tow rig/SEMA style f250 build utilizing a tf2 chassis. Body wise be 2 tamiya f350 bodys for a 4 door, trex 60s front link and rear leaf setup. My question or looking for input on direction being to go withe a 1.9 mayhem monsters which I have with the dc fun country or go w the 2.2 motoworks 8 spoke or 2.2 kmc rockstars with 2.2 micky Thompson mtz which are 4.76 tall or stretch the fun countrys that are 3.9 tall and 1.41 wide Any input would be appreciated! Thanks Last edited by jcsaxial; 08-14-2014 at 01:43 PM. Reason: change style tire and add sizes |

my input is if you go 2.2 do a deep dish if you can and stretch them tires lol 1.9s will look good and at home under that body also but nothing smaller

The only thing I don't like about stretching is the way the sidewalls bulge and going wide may not look right with a little tread in the middle and sidewall pooching over. The other option is wait till DUUUUUUDE has his lathe and get some white delrin spoke style XDS like he built previously. Last edited by jcsaxial; 08-14-2014 at 01:51 PM. |

Stretched 1.9's on a 2.2 wheel gives it a good low-pro but still meaty look that I keep seeing on trucks now. It's all about 22's and Toyos it seems.

22s and 37" toyos! The closest things I'm coming up with tire wise are the fun countrys 3.95, mud countrys 3.95, and the rock creepers @3.76. Considering it's going to be a somewhat show truck on 1:10 scale a truck w 22s and 39s wouldn't be completely off scale just nothing seen on an everyday basis! |
