I also am running that tire size and will have pictures up in a few days or so if the star's align correctly in getting my lift done :jester:

I think it looks awesome...an illusion of even more lift without looking too small...I'd say just right...but any smaller....not so much. I think even with new meats, I'm going to stay that size with the price of gas these days...gonna be well over 4 bucks by summer. :shock:

Your's Pote is what convinced me to stay with 245 70 tire size. I agree with you on all points :pepper:

I MAY go up to 245 75's when mine wear out but just don't know yet :JEEPIN:

I'm running standard kj aluminum wheels with bfg at tires. I'm glad it looks good as the tires still have a lot of life left and I can't afford tires too. Hopefully the talon sells very soon as that is what will fund it.

Dunno why it double posted.

I like those black wheels. Soft is right?

Cragar Soft 8

Cragar D Window

Black Rock 997 (same as Soft 8 but cheaper)

Dunno what happened on my last post but the "8" didn't print. But yeah I love soft 8s.

I was pretty fond of my 255-70s profile, just tire options in that size suck

245 75-16 sound nice when I need new tires, but my BFG ATs look great after 15k+ and Im pretty sure Ill have them for a long time. Funny that the load range e larger tires are cheaper then my range d 245 70-16 were.

sell em and buy new
I've had 6 different sets on mine so far and have not worn any of them out, run them 20,000 or so and sell them and move to something BIGGER

I wish! These BFGs will do fine for a while until I can get bigger. As of right now Im dealing with dead beat buyers for my talon so if I get full price I might just take the savings and put it towards HD CVs, steel d30 and 4.10s.

I love the way those soft 8s make the 245 70-16 look with a lift. Might look at those too if the darn car sells... :banghead:
