bunch of tire questions
hey, i just got my 5.5 superlift in adn im puting it on this weekend now for tires! i think im going with 15-10 insh rims (black steel) what back spacing should i go with the 15-10" rim and will this look funny with out fender flares? and MT'S Baja MTZ (35"). dose anyone have this tire how do you like it, i would think its good for mud they are a mud tarrain tire, i would go for the Claw but they are way more money i can get the MTZ for $225 CAN a tire so thats pritty cheap.
also what is better for mud and offroad having a wider stance from a 15-10" wheel or narrower from the 15-8"

Go with 15x10's, espically if you have 35's. It will make the tire look much wider and bigger. I havent heard anything about the tires themselfs, but judging by the tread pattern, they look like they'd be good for mud.
Dont get black rock crawlers......Im not a fan of black wheels....lol..

Backspacing will be anywhere from 4 inches to 3.5 inches. The smaller the number you go the more they will stick out. Look at my truck or Zabeards truck, those are 3.625 backspacing.
I have heard good things about those tires but personally would go with something different. Just my opinion.

The wider tires are fine for drivin around, but if an emergency stop came you simply cannot stop as quick as a normal tire. Also icey roads are a bad thing. I think John Griggs has some experience in this.

I just bought the baja mtz's, and they perform awesome! I haven't been in snow obviously cuz it's 100+ here. However they are very soft, so they aren't going to last long, and I also noticed they have a tendancy to skid when applying the brakes hard! that has been my main concern so far because of idiot CA driver's. They were about 13 lbs. over inflated when the shop mounted them though so that could have been part of that problem. haven't tried yet with correct pressure.
