Hey guys
Have a chance to get a good deal on some 33x13.5 on 15x8.
Anyone run this setup? I understand its probably not ideal so if anyone has an opinion either way i'd like to hear.
Thanks

You can do it just fine. And you'll be able to air down without as much worry of blowing a bead. Do it!

Any plans to re gear?

Atmos

will there be any rubbing issues with your back spacing? are you going to be driving through muddy slippery terrains or rocks?

THare22

Yeah in fact I plan to regear as my next venture; 4.56 or maybe 4.88 now if I get these. And I'm in CO so a little of both but primarily rocks if I had to chose. Which wouldn't make sense for the 13.5 correct?

THare22

O yeah BS is 3.75. . .

Atmos

For rocks you'll want a skinnier taller tire because it will form to the rocks better when aired down. Wide will be better for mud and sand

jmccallie

Depends on what you will be using the jeep for? dd or trail rig?

THare22

Technically a DD but isn't driven much. I may even get them and make a trade later if I don't like. Buying a lot of stuff in bulk from this guy and the tires make the deal worth it for the both of us (travelwise).
Ideally I think the most id like is 12.5, which is what I have now but they are shot.

IMPO I would do 456 if its going to be on the road alot... I have ran 12.5s on my old jeep, but just got some 11.5s I dont do alot of mudding. Seems to be a ongoing debate with wide vs skinny... Best way for me to describe it is, for wheeling on rough terrain and rocks it can go both ways in which is better. But IMPO for mud I tend to think that wide tires create more suction... I guess its more of a personal preference and what you like. Snow and sand I believe wide are better... Like I said these are just my opinions, so dont want to turn this thread into a huge argument...

THare22

Sure I understand, opinion is far too often beyond reality. I more so was interested to hear about the 13.5 on the 8 inch rim, less pros and cons. But thanks all for input

BNJeepsta

Yeah that's what I thought you were concerned with haha like I previously said, they will fit on a 15x8

jmccallie

Sorry, so use to just somebody asking if tires will fit haha. And not having any plans after that... Anyways yes they will fit

THare22

No need to be sorry ha
Majority of the time I just feel the need to be assured of something before I pull the trigger. Thanks guys

Atmos

what else are you buying in bulk from this guy for what prices?
