you ever do something and then instantly regret it? not cuz it's bad, but because it's going to cost you more money?
so i wanted to try the 35" ATs from this truck on my street rod jeep. same 8-lug, just thinking the lighter 35's might hoon around town better. so while i try that, i threw the 37's on the Ram ... and now i don't know that i can take them off.
if you look back at post #102, i confirmed i could spin the wheel in the tire while towing up my driveway. it takes serious initiative to tow 10,000lbs up. the prior wheels were "street locks" with just decorative rings, the racelines are for realz. so that's a plus. the 37's ride a touch better actually, but mostly they stretched out the gears juuust a little. with the 6spd it's really pretty good. i need to try towing and see how they do, but i feel like that'll be all fine. then it just looks right. slightly wider tire, slightly less backspacing, the MT, the machined face with the chrome ... if i'm going to have a big truck, it might as well just be proper big.
and the nitto's don't pick up and hold stones from the driveway to later throw at the paint when i get on the highway! so i took the mud flap off, it was never right but helped protect from the stones. i'll redo something different this winter maybe.
