I wanted to get 225 series tires for my 86 n/a (open diff) but a "less than reliable" source is absolutely positive that I'll "snap" my half shafts... any thoughts?



its for auto-x case you needed to know any sort of driving conditions or anything (225 on a 7.5 dish is all my class'll allow me).



I know I'll need spacers and all but I hear people asking about the 3rd gen 225 series tire/rim swap all the time on this site... right?



thanks

whoever told you that was an idiot. I ran 225's no problem.

 

right on man, thats what I was hoping you'd say.

thanks for the quick reply

 

hey i ran 225's too! didnt even think it would be a problem....

 

I wear 245s on the 8" mustang wheels, haven't had a problem yet.

 

my god man! the planet might stop moving if you launch it hard!

 

i had 305's on 18" rims on my 89, but i needed the widebody to fit them. never had problems either, and i had a turbo'd 20b!

 

I have run 225/15's 245/17 and 275/17s on and na without a problem.
