275/45/20 Tires on Stock 20s

[StuLax18]

Here are some before and after pics of my tire change. The meatier tires certainly look better. Oh, and fyi, my driveway slants down to the alley, so if some pics look a little crooked that is why, and I used my shoe to keep the old tire from rolling away . There are a lot of pics, so give it time to load.




1/32 tread FTW!

Nice set up .. Dropping it will be the next best thing

Looks good... I thought about going that size but since the ride quality of the FX sucks as it is I decided more side was was better.

Ummmmm :err:

^^^ i think its the 20's maybe when u go 22's it will look much dropped

 

[gchristopher9]

what are the advantages of going 275/45? what made you switch from the factory size? seems that quite a few people do this and i can't understand why?

 

[StuLax18]

Wider, thinner sidewall, cheaper. I think it looks better, too.

 

[gchristopher9]

i wouldn't mind going wider but i'm not a big fan of the thinner sidewall. as others have said it makes the gap noticeably bigger, and almost undoes what you did by lowering it. to each there own i guess.

Ummmmm :err:

My fault... It just doesn't seeing that low...

Ya, I know what you mean. I could spin the tires going 45 mph in 2nd gear. These are still pretty slippery in the rain today, but they only have a couple hundred miles on them. I'm hoping they will do better after they get more broken in.

What kind of tires are they? The tread looks hella mean
