I know I said I wouldn't be able to get tires until I start taking up complete payments on the truck, but I may be able to swing some within a few checks. My question is...

Should I go with 32's or 33's?

I plan on getting BFG All terrains. I dont offroad very much, so rubbing from flexing isn't really an issue. If I need to crank the tbars, that is okay too. I have actually cranked them about 1/2 an inch already, and don't mind cranking them some more if needed. I also plan on getting a 3 or 4" lift at some point, which points me toward the 33's even more.

But it never hurts to get a second opinion. Would I be okay running 33's around town for a few months with a tbar crank? I know the Sport Trac frame is different than a ranger's so I was just wondering.

Thanks!

 

OK ben are you going to do what here. you are gonna need a superlift or body lift or some kind, and to run the 33's a stock sport trac 33's do not fit well at all. it needs to be body lifted or suspension or something. now like are you keeping those 16's? you could run a 265x75x16 right now stock no rubbing at all. now a 285x75x16 you will need to crank a little but not to much no to step up to a like 305x75x16 you are talking a lift some how...

 

Hmm....it seems like it would make more sense if I just waited for the lift and did it all at once. That's probably what I will end up doing.

 

ya honistly your GF was really nice to buy you wheels but sell them...get some 15x8... the tires are gonna be SOOOO much cheaper...now on the other hand if you get buckshots. i was extreamly suprised to see how cheap 16" tires are for them. but then agian not everyone wants a mudder. but ya... so.. personally i would wait for the lift...

 

Here is body lifted with 305's

 

I maxed out my tbars and trimmed alot and still couldn't get my 33s to keep from rubbing entirely. I say go for a body lift and get some 33s when you do. For now, MAKE YOUR PAYMENTS!

Yeah I understand that tires for 15" wheels are cheaper, but I don't have that option. Easier said than done selling the girls rims :) She is a Criminal Justice Major and has a baton under her bed. If I even thought about selling the wheels, she'd have me handcuffed to her bed post and beat the crap out of me before I could even explain the price difference.

Yes, this face would do that.


Thanks for the pics Zach. That gives me a good idea of what it might look like.

 

honistly that sounds like some kinky fun i would sell them lol....

 

wow this needs to go to offtopic. getting kinda kinky talking about handcuffs and batons.

 

I'll show her my handcuffs and baton! LOL JK JK

Yeah selling those wheels would be a terrible idea.

 

those rims look nice....I wouldnt get rid of them...just body lift and 305's

 

I agree!
