Jerry,
I think you are correct. One of our club members has same setup as you on hi=
s 250 without issue, which is why I thought the 6 inch wires would work. Ha=
s to be the offset. In any event all fixed now with the 4.5 inch width wire=
s and 165 80 15 tires. Looks stock so I=E2=80=99m happy. Will be happier if=
I can find a home for the nice Dayton=E2=80=99s. =20
Cheers,
Jim
