i want to get some new wheels but i want to have them stick out. not a stupid amount but just about an inch or 2 more then the fender flares....but it seem like every one with tires that stick out nice have 10 inch wide rims..so im wondering if i should wait to get some 33/12.5 and some 15x10 instead of 15x8's now and 31's. since u cant put 31/10.5 on a 15x10 wheel. and i need to regear b4 33's so im wondering if i should just wait or if a 15x8 with 3.25 BS and a 33/12.5 will look good. thanks

 

a 15x8 w/ 3.625 or 4.000 bs w/ 12.50s or 11.50s will put the outside of the tire just about to the outside of the flare.

 

IMO go with the 33x12.50 tire and the 15x10 rim with 3.75 backspacing

 

Ive got 10's w/ 4" and 12.50s and they stick out past the flares a little over an inch or so.

 

PIX!!!!1!!1!!!ONE!!!1

 

an invitation to *****!?!?? OF COURSE I WILL!



my truck: 15x10 w/ 4" bs and 12.50 tires. Truck behind me: 15x8 w/ approx 4" or 3.625" bs and 12.50 tires...

 

Shane, you ***** every chance you get haha

 

the pic in my avtar i am running 32s on 15x8 with 3.75 back spacing they stuck out about an inche. i am now running the same wheels with 33x12 and they stick out about the same but i can still stuff the tires in the wheel wells when i am out wheelin

 

i have 31 10.50s on a 10 inch wheel. it was a little harder to get them to seal when i mounted them but it wasnt that bad.

 

super swamper or pitbull makes like a 33x1550 those will stick out for sure.

 

I got 15x8s with a 33x12.50 tire and they don't stick out:

 

ya same here i have 17x8 with 275/75/17 which makes my tire width 10.50 can i go to 11.50 with 17x8

 

yes you can run up to a 12.50 on 8" wheels. I have ran 12.50's on 7" wheels with no problems.

 

i have my 33x12.5 on 15x8 inch rims, they stick out of the wheel well. its all in the backspacing..

 

i haz 15x10's. i never measured the backspacing though..

but they stick out a bit.

they stick out less in the rear though cuz i pulled out the bedsides a few inches.

 

I was waiting for somebody to say that.



33x10.5 BFG A/T KO tires mounted on Eagle Alloy 057s with 3.25" backspacing. I don't have fender flares, but it looks like they'd stick out a little bit past them.

 

this thread makes me want moneys so i can buy tires and mount my procomps

 

well heres a 17x8 with a 33x12.50 tire

(just wanted to ***** a sec)

 

So what backspacing do i need if i get 20x9 inch rims and 35x12.50s? I have 16x8s with 4 7/16 backspacing and my tires are even with the fender flares.

 

Mickey Thompson Classic II's 15x8 with 3.3" backspacing + 33x12.5 tires






^^stick out enough to get **** all over the truck lol

 

Good to see there's someone else out there not stupified by 12.50inch tires. Our trucks + extra centrifical mass = suspension component repairs. Not to mention the off-road benefits of a 10.50inch tire over a 12.50. Initiate link whoring...

Expeditions West: Tire Selection for Expedition Travel

 

yeah narrower tires are better hence tires on a geo metro are ideal for off-roading.

 

Did you even read the link? Does it hurt being that ignorant?

 

No. There's too much there to read. i don't care what it says i wasn't being ignorant, i was joking.

 

I had 15x8's w/3.75 BS with 32x11.50's on my Ranger when I got rid of it. They stuck out just enough. It's like one of the above posted, it's all in hte backspacing. Here are a few pics of the old truck. I don't know if you will be able to really see how much they stuck out though, but you would get the idea:
