Im about to purchase a set of rims and was curious about the pros and cons or what might be better or worse about having a 10.5 over a 9.5 besides the obvious... like looks and the bigger lip on the rim.

Thanks in advance,
Cory

What tire size are you planning on getting? If you are going to use the usual 275 then it is mostly up to you on how you want it to look. 275 on 10.5 rim might look a bit stretched.

CJoker23

tire size would be 295/30...

one more question has anyone heard of vredestein tires? are these reputable tires really? are they good tires more or less?

for 295 go with the 10.5.

Do a search on the tires you are considering. Some one just got a set here and I heard they are petty good tires.

Thank you, yeah I read the review I think im gonna give them a chance too.

it's heavier
it will hold wider tire
sometimes more concave
will stick out of the body more
it's jusy bad azz than 9.5 for sure.
you can brag about your wheel width that is 2 digits.

Thanks for yalls input, I just purchased some Maya ST5's 19x8.5 front, 19x10.5 in the rear, I have never seen anyone on this forum with the ST5's so ill be sure to post pictures. =) And I did go with the vredestein tires....

Thanks,

295 should be on a 10.5" wheel.

make sure you get an offset close to +30 or above for the rear rims...

i'm thinking about getting the vredesteins also...how are they working out for you so far? guess it might be too early to tell

no he means above, because without rolling fenders you will rub with sub +30 offset, 10.5" wheel and a 295/30 tire.

dont expect much of a lip for a +30

YOu may want to look into that 9.5 for the front. Then you can run a nice wide front tire to match your wide rear. 275/30's fit great in the front.

275/35F They handle great too

he could probably get down to a +25 without worry of rubbing

im hoping to fit 295/30 with my +4 offset.
