Just went to discount tire today to see how much some new 35's to fit my new axles were gonna be, and I got a reality check.
Due to the extremely large disk brakes I have, I need to run a 17" rim.
Also, it needs to be a 6x5.5 chevy bolt pattern, with a huge center bore so the rim will fit over the warn hubs. apparently this kind of rim doesn't grow on trees, so its really friggin expensive, a lot more than I thought I was gonna spend. even for steel wheels.
So this brings about me questioning if its really worth it. Im a college kid, Ive been saving for a while and probably have the money to get it done but, being the logical thinker that I am Im wondering if it will be a good choice for the long run. Im really starting to think about getting rid of the money pit, and just getting a reliable daily driver till Im done with school.
I don't know Id like to hear some opinions of what you would do.
also, if their is a cheaper way of going about getting some tires for these axles, like junkyard wheels, from a stock vehicle that would work or something. anything. please . . . . . . . . Help. lol
