Ok guys... I just bought these rims and tires. The rims are 15x8 with 3.75"backspacing. The tires are 33x12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw radials. . They have about 4000 miles on them. I would have gotten some other tires, but my older ones starting splitting between the treads and one of them actually ripped open. I'm really excited about the new stuff though... next comes an OME susp. upgrade!

Looks sweet! Nice deal too.

runninclean

are you running any lift at all? Also how's the rubbing issue?

Keggo

Thanks! Yeah, It was a really good deal that I had to jump on!

I'm actually not running any lift at all. And on the rubbing, I haven't had any rubbing going over speed bumps at full turn and going about 10 mphs. I'm not going to do any hardcore offroading until I get my new coils and shocks.
Also, I kind of hammered the front pinch weld back a little bit.

how's it feel as far as power loss? do you have 4.10 or 4.56 gearing? looks nice, makes me wanna get 33's

Keggo

Actually, I didn't notice much power loss. I have 4.56's in my truck. I noticed on your signature that you have a truck, not a 4runner. I'd assume that the power loss (very minute) is less prevolent in your vehicle. It's not a dragstrip machine but it was about the same (to me) as running the 31's. I can still really feel the low end torque. Do you have any pics of your truck? I really like the way the bigger tires look.

viperdan

Asusming your a manual tranny, can you still use 5th gear?

Yobroe

Those tires look sweet on your rig! Where is the pinch weld located? I'm installing some bigger tires soon and think I need to beat the hell out of them too...

SolidDigital

don't have any pics right now, really needa get a digital camera..
with 4.56's that really isn't too much off then, mine has 4.10's lol

Keggo

Yup! Actually, I just got them on today and haven't gotten on the freeway yet. I'll let you know as soon as I go to work on Monday. Yup... long drive. hahahah.

Keggo

Thanks for the compliment! You know... I pretty much had to figure that out on my own. So you do too. HAHAHA j/k. I'm not 100% sure that the pinch weld is what I hammered down. hahaha, no, I'll get pictures close up and further away that way you can see where it is in relation to the rest of the front end. I'll get some shots tomorrow!
