I've got a friend that runs Interco LTB 33x13.50 15s and they do good but there is a lot of scrub with them not sure how long his bearings will hold up.
How wide do you want to go?

well I work at a tire and rim shop and I had this guy come in with one of those new Wranglers sporting 33x15.50 on 16's..... I liked how wide he had them. Around here we just use them for the beach and the wider the better so its not like Im going to be rock crawling with them. Just wondering what people are running if theyre running widder then 12.50 and if anyones got pix of it

i have 13.5 iroks on 10 inch aero beadlocks.

i don't go through hubs any quicker than when i had 12.5 trxus.

i like the wider footprint when aired down. makes for a much smoother ride.
