wrangler questions!!!!
 
i have a set of the nomad wheels, 15x8 with 3.75" bs. i want to get 33x12.5 wrangler mt/r kevlars.
QUESTION: with only t-bar crank and shackles what will i rub on, when will i most likely rub, and how bad will i rub?
SECOND QUESTION: who here is running the mt/r and how do you like them? i got stuck really bad yesterday in a really deep puddle and again today in marshy type land/mud. how are these in the mud? road when wet?
THIRD QUESTION: how much difference in my speedo/odometer will i see and what can i do to correct it? i will most likely be changing it twice a year for summer/winter tires..
thank you very much to all who respond!!!!!

and before i get all the "pics or it didnt happen" comments... no i dont have pics cause i was too busy digging two rangers out for 3 1/2 hours to take any!!! lol

yes they will fit. chevyslaver ran 33x12.50s with just tbar crank and we wheeled his truck hard with minimal rubbing

I am running em, but I have a body lift. For a couple hundred bucks a body lift might not be a bad idea and it will save you some fenders if actually go off road. There a great tire. Great in mud, snow, dirt. Ice on the other hand is another story, but their way better then a/t's.

Lol I didn't even notice that! I plan on a body lift in the future but would rather not if I don't need too

ranger4.0 06-07-2010 02:47 PM

What about the speedometer? How much will it benoff and how to correct it?

ranger4.0 06-08-2010 07:58 PM

Someone has to be able to answer this for me!

99offroadrngr 06-08-2010 08:56 PM

wont be off much at all i wouldn't worry about it mines off like 2mph with my 33s

ranger4.0 06-08-2010 11:32 PM

Really? I would have thought it would be off a lot more. Thanks

chainfire 06-09-2010 06:10 PM

It should be off about 10% depending on the stock tire size

A friend of mine ran them on his ranger,and he loved them. Great traction

ranger4.0 06-10-2010 07:58 PM

Stock tires measure at 29" tall withthe weight of the truck on them but they are slightly over the legal limit

elementsenjoi 06-10-2010 08:04 PM

The tires are awesome! They are my favorite tire yet and I have been through quite a few sets. Great on the road, great off road. Very round.

well i have a 2004 xlt 4x4 4.0 and i have 265/75/16 like 32 i believe and i rub at full lock. i cranked the t bars and didnt rub for a few days and now i rub again at full lock. wheeling i dont rub much more and you usually wouldnt i would think cuz theres not much flex in the IFS.... anyone else

That's what I was expecting. I don't think I will have any problems and if I do I will do a body lift

morris 06-10-2010 08:31 PM

kyle, pedro is in miles. his 2mph is like 3 or 4km/h.

33's and a BL should be no problem at all with the correct BS... i dont know what it "correct" butyou shoud be fine. when wheelin in my truck its annoying more than worrysome. i want MT-r's sooooo bad. actually i just want mudds sooo bad. i know rangerboy101(i think is the name) is running 285/75/16 i tihkn there 33's and he doesnt have much of an issue. idk how
