33x10.50 tire

[Swee294349]

I would like to sell it all together preferably. what would u offer on the tires?

thanks

If I were to break down this setup I would say
Rims-$75*4=$300
Tires-$50*4=$200
You would still end up with $500. Any clue what either of these retail at new? I was originally thinking $40 a tire and $85 a rim but I realized I that may not make sense if the rims were only like $100 brand new.

 

[Swee294349]

how would the tires have to be shipped? i have never shipped tires out?

so 200 plus whatever shipping costs right?

thanks

Now Oknut is telling me to go with a 15x10 rim with my set up. I will sleep on it and try to figure it out. It would help if I had a model number and brand of rim. They look like American Racing AR-136's am I right also what kind of shape are they in? Be honest.

Dannyboy,

In the other thread you were saying that you wanted to stay stable after lifting your truck more. All I was saying is that a 15x10 rim would help out..

In other words I didn't tell you to go with the wider rim, I was telling you that there are other options out there.

Take care,
Oknut

DANNY!!!!

It's about time to see you buying parts to make that limited trail ready!!!! j/k One thing to remember, the wider you go, the more you have to worry about rubbing the fenders. I don't know if you plan on trimming your fenders any, but you may have to if ou go with a 10" wide rim. I run an 8" wide rim with 6" of lift and have no problem with rubbing up front at all, and you know what I put it through in Attica.

Hurry up, August 20 is coming up sooooooon!

John, Do you think the 3" body lift will eliminate this? How bad did you rub the 35's

 

[cableguy]

not sure!

How much lift are you going to put on? A 6" lift or a 4" w/a 3" body would be plenty to run 33's on 8" rims. I don't think I could run 10" rims with my 6" lift. Scott Barrett runs 10" rims but he has around 10-11" of total lift. He could get away with 35"s easy if he were to go with 8" wide rims. As far as my 35's are concerned, they were 14.50" wide on 10" wide rims. There was not way, even with 10" of lift that I could have ever went off road seriuosly. The width of your rim and backspacing is what will determine how much lift you will need. Trust me, I waited almost three weeks to order my rims and tires just because I did't know whether to run 10 or 8" rims and how much backspacing to have. I am not an expert by any means on this situation, but I did a lot of research on rims and tires. If you call just about any of the tire dealers in magazines and tell them what you want to run, they will tell you if it will fit. Any other questions, just holler.

Did you check out my pics on the Attica thread? There's a pretty sweet pic of your "custom" running boards, and my favorite fallen tree!

I was running 33x14 and a 10 inch rims when I had my 6" lift.. I didn't have any problems, It rubbbed a little bit. And so what, just fix the problem (spaced my bumper out a little bit). I say buy the tire you want and build the truck to match the tire.

I forgot to post this in the beginning. Joey Jones on the Explorer4x4.com feature runs a 33x10 Thornbird, just one to check out.
Cableguy, What backspacing do yours have? I want to be like that or even a little wider but not trash my wheel bearings if possible(so I've heard) & yeah I like that pic a lot. Check out Kampy's pics. My wallpaper on my PC is of you, Sargon and I on the dune. Pretty cool 3 white trucks we look like NASA guys on Jupiter(Or Uranus)

3.75" backspacing. I don't have much experience with backspacing, but I don't seem to have any problems with mine rubbing anywhere. ( a little in the rear at full lock ). 8" rims will also put less stress on the wheel bearings. Sumpin to think about! Later
