Tire & Rim Question....

[AlaskaVX]

I think it was right around -25mm. but if you want to do the research they are Eagle Commets 16x10

They probably are 25s. That is the closest to stock you will get in a "common" size. My off road rims have 25mm backspace and with 10.5s brings the tires to just a hair outside the cladding.

I'm just about to order...so all input was most helpfull.

I'm going with ...

Nitto's new Mud Grapplers.... 33x11.50x16

http://www.nittotire.com/tires_mudgrappler.asp

(Take a look at the 360 degree photo show...nice side wall!!)

These give an overall inflated width of 12.01 inches and a diam of 33.07
The 33 inch Super Swamper SSR's give 12.3 inches. and a diam of 33.4

The Nitto's fit 8 inch rims , and being slightly less tall/wide will hopefully reduce the "surgery" required....by a little anyway!

I'm getting them from Off Road Warehouse in San Diego.
They fitted my lift kit ( I am "workshopless" at the moment!!)...so despite being about $100 more than Discount Tire.....
..I figured they should do it ALL , so any problems cant be blamed on anyone else!

They also promised to swap them for the Super Swamper SSR 32's ..if surgery is TOO drastic.

Thanks again for all info.

No workshop needed. If you have a parking space, jack, a few tools and a couple hours your set.

[JoFotoz]

...should of done it myself !!!

But tools etc ..etc in storage at the moment(just moved)...
....and house refurb projects get priority.

At least they do if I want to cuddle with the wife...

..instead of the dog on the deck!

They have a certain "Gnarly-ness" about them!

The "Croc skin" styling kind of matches the cladding...sort of!
