Post by tara »

Hi guys,

i have to change my 33 12.50 15 tires and wonder if slightly smaller tires like 32 11.50 15 would fit my rims ?

I'm running these https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.js ... &tab=Sizes 33-10.5R15 KM2s on 7" Soft 8s on my CJ-6. I know of other CJs that are running the same. BFG specs a 7-9" rim. I believe the Wagoneer alloys are 7" rim width.

flickr.com or imgur.com

imgur will give you the link, you just add the .jpg to it
flickr will give access to all your photos unless you create a specific account just for jeep pics

I have had 4 sets of 32x11.5x15 tires over the years and they always fit and looked better on an 8" wheel width. They tend to wear quicker in the centers when running on 7" wheel. How wide are your rims? If you have been running 33s, I imagine they are 8".

Yes they are. The first Jeep had a 4" Warn Black Diamond lift from 1998. The second Jeep had 4" Rusty's lift from around 2004. The first Jeep is a little higher. If you use a stock 7" wide wheel, the tires will rub on the leaf springs at full turn.

i got same 8" rims and even with 33 they don't rub. i got too 4" lift. i think 32's are a better choice vs 33's
thanks

Is it the 65 you show in your signature? Almost all my experience is with 74-91 fsjs. Those front axles have adjustable stops for the turning radius. I just never adjusted mine. The rub was slight. Not enough to stop the tires from rotating.

exactly the 65's wag with adjustable stop. for sure with big tires the rotation maximum is not very important :D

32s on 8" wide with 2" lift. The rear fender openings are massaged to prevent rubbing.

Now it is your turn to share pictures. :mrgreen:

A little wide I think. But what do I know of a 65 Waggy? Not much really. What kind of lift do you have? I doubt I would use 10" wide wheels on a narrow track.
