where can i get some metal valve stems?





Patchboy





I found these in a search for metal valve stems at one time. Didn't buy them because my wheels came with metal stems. Dirt cheap though.

225 or 235 on 8" rims. With the 9" rim, you can fit a 275 Nitto on there. 275 BFG comp T/A (or equivalent BFG) will stretch too much IMO but can be done (and has been done by me). For other manufacturers, 265 or lower for the 9's.

275 will be slightly taller and may need fender rolling. Those are approximately the same as my Volks. I think i'm +32 in front and +35 in the rear and run 225-F/255-R which is ok for street but dropped for track requires fender rolling. You can fit Toyo T1S in 235 & 265 ok.

rear offset +35 with 9" rim and a 275 Nitto and a 275 BFG comp TA I NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER got fender rubbing. NEVER. I had coilovers to adjust height. when I slammed it to the ground. I never ever ever ever ever ever ever got fender rubbing. Never.

^ That's good to know because I was thinking of getting 18x11.5 instead so I can throw on 315's but 275's may suffice for the time being. Anyhow, it was my fronts that rubbed or I should say they pulled out the inside lip of the fender when I had it slamed to the ground with 225/40-17's.

run a +35 on the front. I don't have it "slammed" but I never rubbed on the front with 235's 8J rims.
