Which size are you running?
The wheels look like they might be 17's - so are they 285/70/17's?

285/75-16. I bought 16" wheels since tires were much less expensive for 16's...

They may be what what is used on the JT as a solid bare wheel. Powder coating in just about any color is available. The width and offset is just about anything you can amagine too. Besides, I 'm going with the 33's, just have to decide what wheels to use. I might just use the ones int this link for a little RETRO look and rattle can to match the stone white.

Can't get into the retro look presently. I'm looking for girth.

If you intend the slightest off-roading, asolutely NOT x10 wheels on a x12.5 tire. General off-road rule: tire width = 1.5 x wheel width. I even run x7 wheels on a x12.5 tire, never popped a bead in years, even at 7.5 PSI on radials.

ok then 15x8 on 4.5" with 3.75 bs? thanks big guy!

Thanks - I got the 285/70R/17's - I was asking so I could compare. The 17's measure right at 33" uninflated. I'll be installing them on beadlocks this week and will post up some pics and final measurements.

Would the MT/R"s wear better if your running a 3.14"(.46) back space rather than a 3.75" back spacing? You can only run them in one direction.

That'll be fairly sick; can't wait to hear how they work. With beadlocks and kevlar working together, you could run them at very low psi if needed.

As long as you align it properly (especially camber) after installation, I don't think there'd be a difference. As long as they don't rub anything....

Backspacing won't affect wear. And while the tires are asymmetric (have a designated outboard side) they are non-directional - they're designed to be run in either direction.

PDoyle,
What's the "one direction thing"?

[PDoyle]

white wall side out-always.

Exactly. The wider tread bars are designed to be outboard.

Right. Which is tread orientation, not directional.
It's mixing people's heads up...
