noob when it comes to this stuff...

Jay351

for hight... 44" or so?

width probibly 12.50" is the widest I Would go on a 7" rim.

You can go as high as your imagination allows you to. As far as width, I'd keep it between 9.50 and 12.50

haha. now the mission is to find a mud terrain 33-35 in a 16. go!

x3 - height is unlimited

Width - rule of thumb is 4", so an 11.50 or so for the road. You can go wider offroad, it will help hold the bead better, and the low pressure will help flatten out the contact patch

Trxus M/T and BFG M/T are available in 255/85-16 (about 33.3x10.5). Great size for our trucks!

id kinda like to go a little wider then 10.5 tho... i have 245/75 wranglers mt/r now and i need to air down just to do a wash... so maybe a lil wider?

I run 305's on stock 16x7's.

the tire contact wont be as wide with the 7 inch wide rim. Id try to go with an 8 inch if poissible. That inch will make a difference, a 12.50 on a 7 inch rim the tire is going to bow out on the sides. Also with the slimmer rim the tire will actually be taller then if you had a wider rim. Id go with the BFG M/T. Or a super swamper TSL.

I agree

norcalsvx

i run 33x10.50's and they work really well

tc

255 > 245 last time I checked

also 85 > 75 - you're going to get more spread airing down the same amount due to the taller sidewall.

285/55 r16 : 33x9.50 Maxxis makes the bighorn MT, and ALOT of companies make 33x9.50/10.50's, BFG AT's and MT's take your pick.

i think those are the same rims i have... k. previous owner put rims on but didnt know what they were off of... and some how a rock got pinched between my caliper and wheel and pushed a nice hole in the rim...anyone have a replacement? haha.looks like bfg 33x10.50 mt is what the choice will be...hows noice?

tc

Think you got a typo there somewhere ... that size isn't listed on the Maxxis website, and no matter how you cut it, 285 is about 12" wide ... a 285/75 is listed on their website at 33x11.6. Stick to a tall/skinny and avoid the fitment issues...
