I assume you mean 12X6" front and 12X7.5" rear??? By having different widths rims on the front and back, won't that make the height of the tires different?? What I mean is won't the front tires be TALLER THAN THE BACK?? Won't this bind up your 4X4??

Also, consider that those clunkey stock steel wheels are HEAVY!!!

Thats what air pressure is for. To even out the height.

Yeah, but then your tires area not necessarily at the optimum pressure. My advice is don't go cheap. Spend the money on a set of ITP rims.

LOL, whatever you think.

Alexiz 400 just make a post about air pressure and what people run with what tires and wheels. That should clear it up.

BTW my 589s came on C-Series wheels. I dont guess ITP should sell those separate should they?? I have them on my stock wheels now.

Oh, I also noticed ITP sells their ATRs separate too. reconranger, ask yourself why would they sell the tires separate. LOL you will probably say they are for peopl who already have C-Series LOL.

IM telling you it dont matter. Also, just what is optimum air pressure anyway?

I got my ATR's separately and put them on ITP Magnums (12X7") which I have had for years. And 12X7" steel rims have been around forever. Anyway, Alexiz wrote this post back at Christmas, and probably hasn't checked it since then!!!!
