Here are a few:

I just did a 255/70-16 on my 2002 when I did the OME lift on it, no other modifications required and it looked great matched with the added lift. Probably your best bet.

I had one in my R50 that I got from Petsmart...looked exactly like Trainman's and IIRC it only cost about $75.00. Worked great, just need to make sure it's nice and tight or it rattles a bit. I mainly used it to clip things to. Google search... That's the Petsmart one, it's listed online for $69.99. Was completely expandable/collapsible to make it fit just right...

Holy @#*!!! Catastrophic engine failure. Damn, that's brutal.

Well, what was it?

Yeah, it was lifted with the OME lift and KYB/Rancho's. It rode great, minus the balancing issues it had. Those tires are pretty comporable to BFG's. As far as cheap(er) tires go, I think they were one of the best.

I had those same tires on my truck in the same size too. I got a lot of flack from people for spending the money on General "Crappers" (which, when I bought them were $91 each from tirerack.com) But I enjoyed them thoroughly. Great tire for the money, and I got a good 40K out of them. Never punctured, torn, nothing. They did a great job with mud resistance too, better than TA/KO equipped Pathys too. The ONLY beef I had with them was that they would NEVER stay balanced. I'd take it in for rotation and balancing and they'd go for a few weeks. Then they'd start shaking again making it noticeable in the steering wheel. You have to keep them balanced and rotated at the required intervals. Enjoy, they look great!

Mine had crapped themselves when I sold the truck. I dunno, about 8K miles on them and a handful of wheeling trips? The cheaper money paid for them was certainly shown in their build quality!!

Holy sh!t he did it. I've waited and waited to see this done to one. I can remember the numerous threads about whether or not this was at all possible in an R50 a few years ago (not that I hang around this or other off-road related forums anymore) Well done Tyler Truly an amazing machine and best looking R50 around.

Nice Subie...I really like the way they've sculpted those things now. Bummer about the truck though (I know how you feel!)

Oh man I needed to read a post like that after the day I had!! IB4TL!!!!!

Sounds like a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Sucks man, I've always been a fan of your truck too!

Interesting...they were definately brass on my QR25. Bummer, I thought they'd have the same part #!

Yeah I had that for quite awhile when the rear section fell off because it was so rusted on a wheeling trip...I had nothing from right in front of the rear axle back. To be honest, it didn't at all sound different. If it were going to sound any different, the resonator would have needed to come off as well...see pic...this is what came off.

Wait...it was This guy who first brought up the fact.
