whats the biggest tire i can run on my factory rim? i plan to bl and i can get ahold of some 33x12.5 wranglers mt/r kevlars. are they to wide?

 

No, you can do it. Just make sure to keep an eye on wear patterns, you might have to run a different pressure than stock to get a full tread contact.

 

I have 33x12.5 mt/r with 15x8 wheels with 3.75 bs. I don't think it would be a very good idea to mount these on a stock rim being they are only 7"? Wide I believe. And with factory bs you will have all kinds of rubbing even with a body lift

 

cool thanks guys. any recomendations on tires then?

 

I run 285/75's (~33x11.50) on my stock 16x7's and run all my tires at 32psi and have even wear.

 

ditch the factory rims

 

Its not ideal but it works.

 

It will rub like crazy

 

False. 33x12.50's on stock 7" wide wheels don't rub like crazy. Minimul rubbing because of the 4.25(?)" backspacing and the sidewalls are sucked in a little bit more than they would be if they were on 8" wide wheels.

 

Have you actually run that setup? 33x12.5 with 15x7 rims with a body lift.

 

ill do that zach as soon as u give the rims off ur truck

 

run a 285 on a factory wheel, if you need help with a bl then let me know, we do live in the same city

 

I have been in rangers running that setup but it was only a 2" body lift with no t-bar crank or shackle. That rubbed like crazy

 

negative lol

 

Stock 15x7 alcoa's only lift is T-bar crank and 33x12.50x15 BFG's no rub. it was bills old truck minus improper wear the set up was perfect















exact same truck and tires are the same with 3" body lift and 15x10 wheels about a week or 2 later

 

I am running 33x12.5x15 with full crank and I rub a full lock and rub like crazy off road. Maybe it's because i have tires with lugs on the side wall and those are all
terains

 

thats the look i want.

 

and sully ive stoped and lookd at ur truck in the school parking lot. i dig it. i go to school there for electric engineering

 

go for the gold and bodylift it!! get some nice cheap new wheels and you'll have that badass ranger look in no time!!

come on... everyones doing it!!

 

well **** lol

 

ok so i have decided to get either 285/75/16 or 33x11.5 on factory rims

i planed on doing a bl a long time ago so im gonna do that. i cant afford new rims so i have decided to have my factory rims powder coated black

now i just need to decide what tires to get. any suggestions? here are the ones ive been looking at.



everyone knows the wrangler mt/r kevlar are at $250 a peice






has anyone ran the Kumho Road Venture MT KL71 at $180 a pc

 

how bout the Nankang Mudstar Radial M/T at $187pc

 

im trying to stay here local cause i can get free tire alignment and rotation and free mount and balancing all for free plus no shipping

and they will mount them and let me drive round with them to see how they look

 

Or Nitto Terra Grapplers at like 150 a piece.

 

Why would you suggest Terra Grapplers when hes looking at mud tires? Those things suck in the mud
