Wow, makes me glad I bought my 33"s when I did. I paid 156/ea for them. That was like 6 months ago.


Anyways, I found that it was cheapest for me to purchase the wheels online (summit racing) then bring them to a local discount tire for the tires. It ended up being cheapest by about 80 bucks.

Who said he even would air down? Everybody on here assumes that EVERYBODY wheels their rigs. And no. My 235/75/15s didn't stretch much to a 15x8. But that might just have been the tires I was running.

You are ASSUMING that he doesn't wheel. He never said yes or no. Also the recommended wheel size for a 235x75x15 tire is a 15x7 wheel. Based off his pic. I'm taking a wild guess that he off roads

I'm not trying to start an argument to pollute the thread, just saying that people need to know all the facts before giving advice.

if i dont know the facts them show us a chart that shows a 235/75/15 tire and what rim width they have. also if you get it to fit on there it would be like putting a 10.50 tire on a 10 rim but even worse, less tire to stretch out

I would think that because of the stretch of 235/75 on 15x8 the tires would wear unevenly, more so in the middle. You would be better off with 15x7 for that size in my personal opinion.
