did you decide on what tires youre going to run yet?

 

No, I'm looking right now. I like the Dick Cepek Mud Country and still undecided about the BFG KM2's. Gonna go with 32x12.5x15 with black walls out.

 

after seeing the DC's on justin and zachs truck up at the dunes i really like those tires as well and i really like my KM2's. cant go wrong with either of them really. white letters out FTW BTW. lol

 

If they make that size check out the Mickey Thompson mtz and black walls out ftw

 

They do have it in the MT MTZ but the load rating is "C". I thought I needed "S"? Maybe it was "C".

 

Oh I don't know that kind of suff on tires lol

 

S is speed rating or something. C is the load rating you are looking for.

 

Ok, thanks Brian. Got confused.....imagine that! haha

 

Wait, my alcoa's are 15 x 7 right? Can I fit the 33x12.5 on it?

 

a 12.5 on a 7 inch rim would be pushing it. 11.5 would be better obviously. if you dont mind a narrower tire you could do a 33"X 10.5"

 

What size are your rims? Dang it....I can't remember what mine are? 15 x 7 or 15x8?

 

If you have stock 15" wheels they are only 7" wide. You could mount 12.5" tires on them, but it's not recommended and several tire shops won't do it. Mine are mounted on 7.5" wheels and it is as narrow as I would want to go. It does float around a little with more aggressive driving or with a real strong cross-wind though.

If I were you I would go with a 15x8 with 3.75" backspacing or so. Here is how mine sat, just outside of the fenders but the truck stayed pretty clean with them in there. No rubbing anywhere with this setup, sway bars disconnected and full suspension travel, wheel cranked in either direction.


If you want something that stick out more you could go with a 10" wide wheel. I don't like the looks of them personally, but a lot of people do.

 

But I'm not looking to swap out my alcoa's. I guess I'm gonna have to go 33x10.5?

 

mine are 15x8. ive run both 10.5 and 12.5 wide tires on them.

 

Ok, so looks like I'm getting 33x10.5x15 now

 

You could also run 32x11.50's I suppose.

 

yeah, that may look better than 33"X 10.5"

 

Any tires out there that are 33x11.5x15?

 

non that ive never found, that would be perfect if there was though

 

Well this is really start suck on these damn tires! I assumed I could sport the 33x12.5 on the 15x7.....ugh....BS

 

You've got to pay to play! haha

 

If you really wanted to keep the Alcoa's you could find someone who could widen them for you. Then you would have the only set of 15x8 Alcoa's. Or however wide you wanted to go.

There is a place in CA that will do it but it is pretty pricey if you ask me. Apparently they charge 225 PER RIM. The name of the place is Vaughn Machine in Monrovia, CA. (626)-358-6413

 

get the 33x10.50, and just use wheel spacers to push them out some, unless you like alot of gap in the fenderwells I wouldn't go with the 32s

 

just go with 33x10.50s they dont look all that bad...

 

I think i" gonna go with 33 10.5's and the BFG KM2's. I don't need anything wider really nor the hassle @ inspection time with the tires sticking out to far. Thx guys!
