Id like Hankook tyres but they don't make a 235/35, if I go with Nanking (which run small) what's an equivalent to 235/35 and 255/35

I'd just run 235/35 and 255/35 they run pretty similar to hankooks so you probably wouldn't notice.

Nice and discount tire direct can get me 4 tires @ $500..... not bad considering 2 hankooks cost 400

The coils should be here tomorrow I want to put them on and get the alignment set so all I have to do is wait till my 255 and 285 are done before adding the spacers

Ill miss my meaty tires :RIP:

Does anyone know if Work polished lips are clear anodized or clear coated in any way? I would like to give them a good polishing, but don't want to **** up the clear finish. If they are just bare metal but polished then i can get them cleaned up a bit. My ssr's were clear anodized and I could not polish them without stripping the clear first, which is something I did not want to do.

Work's barrels are clear anodized. Don't try to do anything to them until you strip them. As they come from the factory, only use car safe soapy water and wax/sealant.

you would strip the anno. then have them chromed/polished/refinished and anno'd again.

when anno lips are neglected and get build up, you have to basically strip it down to nothing and redo it all. but at that point, I would chrome the lips and be able to polish/clean them anytime in the future if something happened. I don't like polish because the finish loose it's shine quicker than the other processes/finishes.

Ok quick question? I just went through all 33 pages of aggressive wheels and fat tires thread and...
I am really starting to like the beefy tire with aggressive wheel look.My old set up I was running
20x10.5 225/35 F -30 offset
20x12 255/35 R -22 offset
My fenders are prettty much pulled to the max I can post pics with wheels on my car with out tires to show you guys how much clearance I have with my fenders being pulled.
New wheel set up maybe if I do decide to try this aggressive wheel and fat tire stance out.
Here is my new wheel set up
20x10 Front +5 planning on running a 10mm to get it to -5 offset
20x11 -6 offset
So the question I have to get that beefy tire Look what tire sizes should I run? remember my fenders are hella pulled lol.
I was thinking about these sizes but I am not sure yet.
255/35f
275/35r
Let me know guys really thinking about getting away from the stretched tire look and mad camber lol

True freaking story! Chrome is a pretty durable finish and it would be nice to just hose your wheels down and hit them with soap and water and still have them be super shiny. Polishing them is annoying.
