I found a pretty good deal on some BFG Krawlers that are 35x13.50x15, my question is what would I need to do in order to fit these, if possible? I have a 4.5" lift and stock steering setup and no wheel spacers. I have stock bump stops in the rear.

Thanks

Whats your gear ratio? Stock dana 35?

Have to do some trimming.

NWhunter

On a 4.5 inch lift? I think he can run em if he takes the flares off and bends the sharp lip. Thats if he does't have a Dana 35 3.55 gears.

NorCalJeep

Or he could do that too.

I have a 8.25 in the rear and dana 30 up front, both geared at 4.10 i have bush wackers as well.

NWhunter

Your good... you could run them providing you have wheels for them. Remember to take in mind a 35 inch tires is going to be a wide tire so keep that in mind when putting them on wheels.

Okay, I have 15" rims not sure of the back spacing though. Is that the measurement you are referring to? (backspacing)

trim.

bump stop.

trim.

drive carefully.

trim.

get a better steering setup.

possibly new rims.


honestly if you don't wheel hard enough stuff to need 35s, you're just wasting money

NWhunter

Yes, and like the guy before me said... 33inch tires will take you anywhere you need to go. 15 inch tires are getting expensive and hard to find.... Bigger size you go up... the more ware it puts on your front end and expensive to replace tires.

Worshers

Thanks for all the input, its helping me out. Im debating on getting 35s or 33s. Ill probably go with 33s cause theyre more practical but at the same time i still cant decide.

NWhunter

I'm saying go with 33's. Unless you want to do a 1 ton steering setup. Yah you could run 35's as is... but in the long run, Your going to ware out stock parts quicker on 35's. And unless your going to get into some serous mud you won't need 35's

CheapCherokee

just go with 33s. you are geared where 33s won't be too bad on highway driving and will still be very capable off road. idk what kind of wheeling you do or what size tires you currently have, but chances are that if you are able to go everywhere you want to go then you really don't need 33s

NWhunter

I'm personally thinking about picking me up some 17 inch Rubicon wheels of a JK and buying a set of 32x11.50xR17. Tires here in my area are expensive for a 15inch wheel.

thats very interesting, usually it is the other way around. unless you are talking used here
