New 26s.. DUB FUTURES

[1993 sierra]

How much for them with tires?

 

[oc714]

New here,

What will be a nice tire for 26's? Just got some Black KMC Slides 26's for my black 07 Tahoe. The last mod I did was chrome TIS 22's on Nitto 420S with a 2/3 drop with Eibach springs back in 07.

The guy who sold the KMC slides to me recommends 305/30/26 as he got a new set in MattBlack? in that size. He says the slides didn't and his new ones don't rub much and that will wear down the fender well in time if I can support the noise with the Lexani lx-thirty

So I'm on the fence for 295/30/26 Delenti or 305/30/26 Lexani LX-thirty or any other good looking and a nice ride tire?

Thanks in advance.

love it.

I freaking love these wheels Tony. Problem is Ill go broke doing a BBK with the wheels because stocks will just look so ******.

Any body shop can make the 305/30's fit, and every vehicle is different. I had (what I think to be) pretty significant rubbing in my front fenders with the 305/30's but the body shop said they could deal with it no problem. It is possible 295/30's will fit with no rubbing at all but like I said, each vehicle is different and I believe I still would have had some rubbing issues with 295/30 tires

doing a 2 inch drop the spindles push them out a little more so less rubbing also. if i had 305 30 26 would be pretty harsh since tires are taller but my truck has a 3/5 drop.

no matter what at least a 2/3 drop is needed so doesnt look goofy

I agree. I'm not doing a 3/5 drop anytime soon. When my inlaws [emoji12] are in town I rub with 22s 285 / 45 / 22 in the rear wells.

I'd like to drop the back another inch (2/4) though. So the 295/30/26 would be ideal for that drop correct?

Yes 295 are the best for a 2/4 drop. I have had many 26's with a 2/3 and 2/4 drop and just recently with the new 6's have 295 and barely any rubbing. But offset is a key to rubbing.

Clean!

The KMC Slides I got are 28 mm offset - 26x10. I don't mind a little rubbing. Seems to me the 305 30 26 tires look better on a 2/3-4 drop. I can see norcals caddy and others looks awesome in 3/5 drop with 295 30 26

I'm still split on my decision. I'm not all that fond of too skinny tires.

This is off the internet with Nitto 420S 305 30 26.

I have +30mm offset, believe me, with the 305/30/26 tires trimming of the liner was necessary, it looks like even more so on those wheels than mine, here's a photo of mine

I have the lexani lx nine in 295 30 26 and ran them on NYC streets. They are really good tires. I also asked many members for advice first and the lx nine was the consensus. I 100 percent recommend them.

HAHAH.. funny thing that is my old truck. to be honest you don't see that much of a difference between 305 and 295. Damn I do miss that thing

Do you have a picture of how much trimming you needed to do? Wheels look nice btw.

Right on thanks!

I will at the end of the day or tomorrow..... my truck is in the body shop as we speak and should be done today. I will post pics of the trimming they did to make them fit along with some other goodies I got them to do for me......

 

[oc714]

Cool. I have mine in the body shop too. thanks.

Was that at stock ride height in those pictures? I have 1"/2" drop right now and I have to wait till the summer now to see how it looks with all 4 of my 26's on the truck before I decide if I want to put 4" drop springs in the back and adjust my front struts for another 1" lower.

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

difference between 295/ 305 from rear of both my cars

But when I had 305 I wish I had 295 all the time.
