    These came with the boat from Pro's Choice. The wheels are made by "Mayhem" and are 18", the tire size is 245/45Z R18.

    Hahaha! I was just gonna say the same thing!! Thnx @Winstondry. Anyone else have brands, models and places you found a fair deal please share! I need tires BAD and no sense being ordinary and using the same 'ol stock wheels. Changing wheel styles makes such a big appearance difference for boats, cars and trucks, IMO...

    That tire size is an EXACT dead match, diameter-wise, for my stock 215/75R14 tires, however, I can't find that tire in anything higher than a 100W XL, and I'd like to be at 103 because I'm single axle. What load rating are yours Winston, and what tires if they are over 100W? I also have the situation where my tire sits super close to my fender, like not much wheel travel before my tire will hit the rim, and I've got to figure that problem out as well. PO said leaf springs were both replaced because one broke. May need longer shackles...?

    Curious if the springs are super stiff? Or overloaded by that rig? Or worn out? Or if there is actually sufficient travel/clearance that isn't appearing in photos?
    Your eyes are not deceiving you CC, there's something wrong here. I bought a used Triton that looked like that. Leaf spring trailer. Took the tire off and paint was rubbed off under the fender where the tire was bottoming out. PO said he once broke one leaf spring and repl them both. So either the replacement spring has less arch, or the springs are sacked out a little. I'm researching the best way to fix: My preference would be to buy high quality higher arched leaf springs for peace of mind. May also get/fab longer spring shackle plates? I'd also like to get slightly smaller, lower profile tires, but man I can't find 17" tires with an XL rating of 103?!?

    Only tires with that high rating are 255/45R18's. Link is for a Cooper Zeon. Like this tire because it's made in USA and another set I got for my car are well built, strong sidewall, balanced really easily. To fit this tire I'd have to customize the carpeted inside fenderboard, which wouldn't be too big a deal because the hull only gets close at the top, and that I'd need the boat OFF the trailer, pull the board, take it home, fab something else, do it all over again. This or just buy stock tires, and be sad...
