Title: TJ tyres & wheels ?
Post by: Grill on April 10, 2011, 11:51:35 AM
Hello,
Question on wheels and tyres ?
On my TJ I am running 31x10.5x15, is there a 32x10.5x15 ? Or do I need to change rims and run 32x11.5x15 ?

Any advice on tyres availability or alternative wheels ?

why not go to 33/10.5/15, just going up 1" don't seem worth it

What axle gearing have you? Also what suspension lift?

BFG dont do a 33x12.5 in the latest range, only 10.5
they do however do a 32x11.5

You will not get 33,s on a TJ without 3" of lift or more and stock gearing makes 5th gear pretty useless

you would need aftermarket rims with a different backspacing, the stock 7" rims will foul the steering bits with wider or bigger tyres

i run 33x10.5 on 8" rims with i think 4" backspace and have around 4" of lift including 1" of bodylift

with a 2" lift i think i would stick with 31's and it will have loads of space to flex when off road  :greggmo:

I tend to agree   :greggmo: but wanted to ask before I stick a new set of boots on and some says what did you not……..   :sign0023:

But please keep the advice comming its always welcome
