looks killer, :twisted: black on black is the only way to go!

for reference on rims, I have 36x13.5x15s on 8" rims, no problems what so ever at 6 psi, haven't rolled a bead yet... i say yet... :lol:

so ya, i would say no wider than 13.5s on an 8" rim...

ya, it really helps with crawling/mud/rocks/SNOW/and traction in general, if you want, air yours down to 15psi sometime (after trying some obstacles with your normal psi) then go back through it at a lower psi, you will never look at your tires the same....ever.... :wink: What it does is increase your tire footprint and allows the tires to fold/wrap around objects easier. your tires should be wrapping really well at 15psi, i would start at 20psi and go down to what you feel comfortable at. I started at 20psi and even from 30-35psi(what i ran normally) it made a difference, then i went to 15psi, then one day someone egged me on to try 10psi, and oh man! i was never the same again! Tires react different too, The reason i can air mine down so far is because of the style of tire, yours are a radial so they will start producing a bulge sooner than my tires would.

yeahi run mine at 38 psi but its my daily driver but i see how it would help having a wider grip. but i will wait a bit to go off road because theres still snow on all the trails here and if i break someting on it i dont wanna have to drive my camaro till its done snowing.

i would say yes, but you have to be careful of backspacing... but the bolt pattern is the same...
