Gotcha - thanks for the info. Was thinking of possibly going with Tokico D Specs or the HP Blues.

I would say 235/30 for a good stretch as that 35 profile sidewall may be a touch too large.

hush you.

I ran 225/35 on a 10 daily without issues (until the end....) as do a lot of people.

What brand of tire are you running? (this is probably the culprit)

Hey man. Your "lazy login mode" confused me!

Look forward to seeing the car again, I won't even recognize it!

As a note, if you use tokico d specs you wil have to machine the plates that come with it for ahem "moaaaaaaaar" low in the front.

Wow, that's so much for the install. UAS charges 1k if you take it to them.

Bead popped? Hmmm...what was the PSI at? Was it while driving? If so, my guess is either low pressure, the tire itself not being good (if it's used), or how the fender is hitting the tire. I'd say add a little more negative camber.

BTW, I ran a 225/35 on a 10.5. It didn't look all that good, had a little gap but no issues until I let the air get too low and then the bead unseated while driving. Currently I have a 235/30 on a 10.5 and I've never had any issues with it. If you have the room go as wide and tall as possible.

I think i'll order 235/30 on my next go round on my 20x10. He did mention that the tire appeared low.

Ah ok...when running stretched you definitely want to keep your pressure up. Check it constantly. Which reminds me I should check mine today. I let mine get to the low 20's, not good when running stretched. I don't even like mine getting to the low 30's.

For reference, here's the 235/30 on the 10.5:
