what rim width size would be need for a 13.50 tire? how about back space for an xj?? im keeping 15" tall rims.

any good reference for determining required backspace for wheels? or chart or something?

my last set of tires were 12.50s had alot of clearance with 3.75 backspacing, so im sure 13.50 tires would clear, at leat on leaf springs, prolly still rub a little on lower control arms though....hopefully some one will chime in and confirm...what kind of tires you lookin at..

This is just for future reference actually. I want to run either krawlers or irocks on a 15 in rim. And it something i've always wondered about.

welp ok take a look at pirate4x4.com for some reference on xjs with big meats. but if you need reference pics i might be getting some iroks soon that are stupid wide...ill be sure to remember you and send you some pics and details on wheels and bs

im running 33x13.50x15 LTB's on 15x8 wheels with about 4" backspacing and have no rubbing problems at all

looks great. how wide are you rims? 10 in? ^^^^

edit- nevermind lol

Really??


BTW, NOMINATED!!

OK, you saved a little face with the quick edit!! LOL!! Sorry I already made the post though!!

BTW, your rig looks great with those tires!!

you know i can look at that too..... hahaha
i knew it was coming. your too fast

That even made it a little funner!! It's all in good fun dude!! I know I'll get caught someday, it's just a matter of time. Anyone can be a tard!!

if you have 10" tires on 8" rims the tire over hangs 1" each side
compared to 13" tires on 8" rims the tire over hangs 2.5 each side that is 1.5" closer to you control arms on the same back spacing

now if you go to a 10" rim with 13" tire you end up with 1.5" tire overhang
and that is only 0.5 closer than the 8 10 combo


so for any one that is wondering how well wider tires will work on you existing rims half the extra width is going in and the other half is going out

i totally agree
