fury...

 

This will be my last and final post, which will probably be deleted, but none the less, i have spoken. the above quote was made by a man who sits in front of his computer for 16 hours a day. I am the titled and insured owner of this truck. I financially own this truck, not just on paper. He has spent his rent money on those wonder tires, to impress his buds. He was told no, and with complete disregard, went and did it anyway. So when you see this beautiful truck cruisin down the road with some stupid, ice chippin broad driving it, please beep so I can wave.

 

wow... someone is a little pissy...
why are you getting so upset again? is it because hes the one who maintains the vehicle and keeps it in good running order and SAFE to drive?
yea, thats prolly it...

 

nice xxtreme! you gonna put them on right away or are you going to be lifting it? either way, its gonna look sick!

 

I don't think those 33's are gonna clear the flatbed even just driving on the street. So I might have to wait till I put the springs in. Unfortunately the rims they are going on are the ones on the truck. So I can't test fit them either. I don't want to have to pay to have a set of tires mounted 3 times if they end up rubbing on the street.

The fronts I am not too too worried about clearing as I don't mind hammering a little. But the bed is gonna take some work to clear the 33's and I don't want to cut the bed too high now for it to look odd later when the springs go in.

I might be over thinking it, but tying to think ahead about fitment issues.

Another issue I see with these is the fact the 10.5's stick out about an inch or a little more now in the rear, so the 12.5's I am gonna have to figure out some sort of "fender" for them.

Not sure of fenderwell clearance up front, but I know it's gonna be close and I don't know off hand what the backspacing is on these wheels, but I am pretty sure they are factory wagon wheels and not AR wagon wheels.

 

ya know what, I just noticed these tires I got are the same ones swimmerboy2112 scored.

Awwwe c'mon man you can't just ignore the last few posts! Not stirring the pot or trying to get you into more trouble but dude, you can't just not respond! Or is that your plan???????
Well regardless nice tires bet they'll look good when on the rig.

 

Looks pretty extreme

 

its ok... he prolly got at home already...

 

2 years on this site and not 1 point against me, not gonna start now. Nuff said.

 

touche', can't blame ya there.

 

I might not be able to use those wagon wheels. At least not in the front.

Backspacing on the wagons is 4.75 15 X 8
Backspacing on the 6 spoke OEM??? is 3.25. 15 X 7

I think the backspacing on the wagons is gonna put these 12.50's onto the control arm. Got to research more though. And maybe measure to see what my 10.5's really look like as far as clearance on the front.

 

i thought OEM was 4.75?

 

these wagons might be OEM as well. but so are my other ones. Rough guestimate of wheel width as I have old tires on them. But pretty sure they are 7's and not 6's. I have an empty wagon here I measured and that's definately 15 x 8 4.75. I don't think OEM wagons were 8" wide though.

TIme for me to go troll through the IFS tire faq thread haha.

 

ok that thread didn't help me much. Noone running 33 x 12.50 on an 86-88 ifs. Every reference is to an 89-95 or better. Not sure if I wanna try to run these 12.5's on a 7" rim either. Or they say they fit but no mention of backspacing. 4crawlers is referencing a 89-95 as well I believe. I know the wheel wells are different and only a few mentions of control arm issues.

 

My buddy owns a tire shop, Performance Plus, and does lot's o deez, lol. He said, "NO WAY, unless you wanna run DANGER style!" lol. Those need to be on at least an 8" Wheel, up to 10" from everything I remember. But, ...what'do'I'Know? lol.

PS> NICE MEAT on those, buddy! Great buy! Sorry yer in the Bad-Dog House! hahaha. That's at least half of what they cost, new, no?

 

yup about half the cost of new.

Just looked, I might have less than an inch clearance between the wagons and the upper control arm. At least according to a 1.1" block of wood I tested with. And it's gonna be close with the swaybar as well.

This is at full rest and full lock as well as straight. Did not test full stuff but that shouldn't matter with the UCA and SB.

 

funny thing is I was told earlier that a 13.5 tire would work on an 8" wheel. Thats a 5.5" difference same as a 12.5 tire on a 7" wheel. Only thing is I got to figure out exactly where the tire will sit with the 7's as the offset changes with wheel width. For example a 3.75 backspacing on an 7" wheel is actually further outside the wheel well then an 8" wheel with the same backspacing by (if my math correct) a 1/2 inch.

WHat throws me off is that 4crawler doesn't mention issues with the UCA or swaybar. with an 8" 4.75 wheel.

 

Have you messaged him, B? He usually answers me back pretty quick when I've hit him up.

 

hmmm
