ok guys what width tyre do you all run ? im looking at running 205/50/16's, this will give me a rolling diamiter 12mm smaller than whats on there, which im prepared to deal with but i was thinking about going a lil narrower but i dont think anyone will/can supply them narrower for a decent price.

at the moment my bus has 195/75/14's or something very close to it.

any info is appreciated.


oh yeah i was quoted $135 a tyre for the 205/50/16's

The ford stud pattern is not quite correct its slightly different, I would assume that it would not be a good thing to use them.

BTW i have 205/50/16 on some rims on my bus know not the ford ones and they just clear the springplate by about 5 mm but i think u will be right with the ford rims cause they have an offset of +35mm so u will be sweet!!
135 is cheap man i paid $170 for mine!!!
cheers
