jproy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Well the topic says it all. I hope I am not being a total noob buy asking this if there is a section dedicated to it. Mods, delete this thread if there is please. I want to get some wheels and tires for the Path. Looks like only 31"s will fit with the stock lift from my research. I cant find a 1" high quality lift kit. Anyone know where to find that. The lift will come later. So I want tires and wheels. I dont want bling wheels, just stock size black steel wheels with BFG's, probably A/T's. Who knows where the best place to get them the cheapest possibly in a package deal? thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure of shipping but I'd imagine it to be pretty reasonable. As for wheels, it depends on a) what you'd like to get and your location. If you can find a local performance shop you can probably get a good deal rather than buying online and paying for shipping. A set of four 15" steelies won't cost too much; 16" wheels won't be too much either. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jproy Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 ^^^Thanks Anybody have a list of sizes I should look at hight, width, load rating, etc. I should look at when buying for the LE 4x4 What is the most common tire width and hight here for a stock suspension 4x4 LE assuming at least one step up from stock?

As for steel wheels, there are a few places to get them... summit racing has cheap US wheels, there are diamond racing wheels , local is probably the best, also if you dont want anything fancy maybe look into your local junk yard and get some spare tire wheels, theyre steel, and prob can be had for really cheap, the one on my '03 is 16x7. I thaink that after a certain year (99.5?) many 15" wheels wont clear the brakes so make sure of that first. On the R50 the lift doesnt dictate what size tire you can run, its the lower spring perch on the strut (which doesnt change no matter how much you lift it), if you have small enough back spacing you'll be fine though. as for a 1" lift, there isnt one that is 1". Old Man Emu (OME) makes a 1.75" Automotive customizers (AC) makes a 2" and they have recently come out with HD stock height, which I guess is really like a 1/2" lift... which I think I may be trying out, or atleast the rear springs anyway.

FUELER Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 tirerack is good sometimes, i got a great deal on my brembo brakes through them but not always the cheapest.... for example they want $165 each for my size BFG, plus shipping it comes out to like $180 each and then you got to go pay for mounting and balancing..... in the end you pay $200+ per tire i went to a local, non-chain tire shop and picked up the same size BFG's for $140 each installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mount/balance my own tires, my buddy has the 2 machines in his garage, so I didnt factor that in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
