Re: Eagle 225 wheels

Got some new kiks today and they fit nicely, had to take the center bore of the front wheels down a little but everything else is sweet....not to mention that im running 315/35/20 in the rear (Oh!) and 275/40/20 in the front with NO rubbing....have chalk marks to prove it. hehe

Re: Eagle 225 wheels

Love the new wheels robertrocha6. I saw your truck tonight parked between a couple of my buddies. I didn't get a chance to meet you, but I'm sure we will in the future.

Hector told me about the wheels, but I didn't get a chance to ask about your tires. What brand tire did you go with?

How do you like them so far? I read about them on the Jeep SRT8 Forums and they complained about sidewall stiffness.

I won't have my truck on the road yet, but I do plan to drive up to the show.

Re: Eagle 225 wheels

So far so good, This might sound funny but they ride better then my stock rally's with alot more meat. Runflats are suppose to be a little stiff on the side walls so they dont go flat but i dont think ill be complaining due to the lust i feel for the new combo.

Re: Eagle 225 wheels

Quick question, most tire folks I talk to say that the widest tire you can run on a 10" rim is 305? From looking at your setup it looks like you're good with the 315?

Re: Eagle 225 wheels

so far so good, Ive checked the chalk marks ive made on the inner bed after all day of driving and the line are soild which means no rubbing. It will fit as long as you choose a wheel that will have a few offsets to choose from. Im content with the look....doing a correct static drop next week so it will be 1/2 inch lower in the front and 1 inch in the rear. we will see if it makes a diff.

Late to the show. The 225's look good. For some reason they just look RIGHT on the Squares! Clean, classy, timeless look for them.

Re: Eagle 225 wheels

Also you guys have talked about the problem with the center caps on the 338s. Does anyone have a link to how to fix the problem?
