cheers for your help/time, not overly flush at the moment so I dont wanna waste my time.

going by that and using reverse theology of the 31x10.5x15 tyre equates to a

267/76/15.............does anyone make this

? at least it's close on paper

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 14, 2008, 09:32:14 PM »

according to http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html 31/10/15 it works out as 255/80/15, which would be very helpful if I had any clue visually what that looks like!

ignoring the price, and the shipping, do any of these visually equate? :supz:

5 mins later: no they wont help without tyres and perspective: its been a long day!

Manda · « **Reply #11 on:** January 14, 2008, 09:54:21 PM »

Right then Bulldog, these tyres are 31" tyres on 15" rims.

My Avatar shows my TJ with 33" tyres.

Here's my '79 CJ7 when I first got her. She is on 31/10.5/15 and a small shackle lift.

Manda, appreciated, makes sense (at last), cheers.

& MK1, even better, cheers again

Lornaben · « **Reply #15 on:** January 14, 2008, 10:28:17 PM »

Manda · « **Reply #16 on:** January 14, 2008, 10:33:02 PM »

Lornaben is a nice guy

Bubba · « **Reply #17 on:** January 15, 2008, 08:29:14 PM »

cjs will take 10x15 rims no probs 31s 10/50 15 tyres are cheap enough

normalbloke · « **Reply #18 on:** January 16, 2008, 06:13:19 PM »

Heres my CJ7 on 35x12.50x15.
Wheels

are 10"x15".

Bubba · « **Reply #19 on:** January 16, 2008, 10:11:46 PM »

i run 35s but 33s are easyer to make fit

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 17, 2008, 12:02:30 PM »

Right, I think I get it, my original idea was embarrassingly shite :Hangman: , and I now need anything up to 33's, after that I need to make modifications to fit them (modifications that realistically won’t be happening to 2009!).

If I’ve got that right, cheers dudes, if I haven’t got that right, feel free to throw in the towel of explanation, I may be beyond help!

Hopefully I have something wheel wise in the pipeline, if not, I will be keeping an eye on the sale board.

Again, much appreciated :supz:

Lornaben · « **Reply #21 on:** January 17, 2008, 01:12:49 PM »

Modifications WILL be required to fit 33's :wink:

Minor (free) modifications, if any, required to fit 31's (steering lock bolt needs adjusting sometimes IIRC)

Bubba · « **Reply #22 on:** January 17, 2008, 05:00:36 PM »

shackel lift and 2 inches of body lift should see33 on both are cheap options 31s should fit rite on

greggmo · « **Reply #23 on:** January 17, 2008, 09:44:14 PM »

i can supply the lifted shackles £10 a corner.

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2008, 07:58:08 AM »

Do you remember the ‘not the 9 o’clock news’ sketch where a bloke goes into a shop to by a ‘record player’, but he aint got a clue what he wants when they start talking about tweeters and woofers? Well, that’s me that is, right here, right now! Im mildly ashamed to say that when i viewed the CJ I looked lovingly at the auto box and big fuk off speakers (that may or may not have tweeters!) and handed over my cash. I have to go from tech virgin to beaten up old tech whore very quickly!

Anyway, I digress, before I once again vacuum my rapidly expanding (expanding via a vacuum - feels wrong although that’s probably just me, scientists explain please!) CJ inspired overdraft, what is a lifted shackle and why do I need it?

There was a time (last week|) when I believed ignorance was bliss, another life rule scrubbed off the list…bollocks! :supz:

As usual, cheers
