Tyre and rim help required

**HZSandman** · 27-02-2011, 10:02 PM

the 245s do look good (have not tried them on the van) but the low profile worries me a bit. i would rather have the van looking higher at the back than the front.

Decisions, decisions???

I lowered the back of my ute and had over-rider springs put in. Looked brilliant with the 245s ...

Thanks for all the input guys.

TwoTees - Yours look very nice with the 235/60s

wbute have you got a profile pic of your ute with them on?

Yeah my profile pic is of my ute but is too small to see much. Will find a better one.

Found one.It has 236/60 on 7" on front and 235/60 on 8" rears.

That's funny Jennie. I just google searched more info on tyres and found that thread on here. The best info is closest to home.

After much deliberation and research I have decided on the 225/65 on the 7 inch rims for the front and 235/60 on the 8 inch rims for the rear.

I have not swapped them as yet as I want to get the rims resprayed and I am trying to find a cheep way to do it. Best quote so far is $100 to sandblast all 4 and $500 to paint them. I want them done in a panel shop so the paint can be baked on in their bay.

thats not a bad price for repainting gts rims..there is a lot of work in them..especially if they are hand masked...as in not using those stupid masking kits.
