Default your opinion this tire set up.

I currently have some 33 12.5 15 tires on my jeep now. I also have 15x10 rims with like a 3.5 backspacing. I dont really like how far they stick out being a wide rim like they are. They hit my fenders even though I am trimmed some and rears folded. I have someone that will trade my 15x10 for I think they are 15x7 or 8. I have one installed on the rear. What do you like better? I will be paint the rim so dont pay attention to that. Also I have no idea why his tire is blue. Here are some pics
Thanks
Frankie

I lke the wide stance. I think its chalk on the tire to see if they are wearing uneven.

I love the way the tire sticks out like that, it makes the jeep look more bigger and more powerfull, i would stick with the ones you have now, but thats my opinon.

I LOVE the way my tires stick out. Kinda gives it a pre runner stance-ish.

Your rim does not look like its wide enough to be a 10.5 width rim. Looks like a 15x8 rim. How wide r ur tires?

If your rubbing in the rear then I guess that means you will have to lift it higher.

It would be easier if you got back enough to take a photo of the back showing both tires. That would make the contrast between the two sharper and give a better image to form an opinion from.

PS. I always use an eight inch rim for tires under 13 inches wide. ( looks better and safer when aired down.

You can see the stance of mine with 10" wide wheels in my avatar.. And i just sold those 10" wide wheels yesterday cause i didnt like it.. Personally if i was you, id get some 15x7's with no more then 4" back spacing. 15x7s are perfect on 12.50s, they dont balloon in the center and too, you can air em down to 10 psi with less worry of breaking a bead then if they were on a 8" wheel.

My tires are 35x14.50 Boggers. Yea Interco recommends a 10" wheel. Well the tires only measure a hair under 13.50 and thats not the tread width, it is closer to 12.50. So im switching to 15x8's with a DIY Beadlocks.

Ive never liked a mexican g ride wheel on a tire, the skinnier the wheel you can run, the better.

First the left tire on the left side the blue one, its smaller then the ones you have now, off coarse its going to look different, But any wayss the way you have all your tires on now, looks wayy better then if you were to but all 4 sets of the blue tire. How can i say in a more different wayy, Your Tires that you have on now, look better. Why??? Becuase the tires have more control of the jeep. the smaller the tires, the more risk you have of gettin stuck in the mud, or not being able to rock crawl, The bigger the tires, there a less chance of you even gettin stuck, And They have more to grip on!
