i wouldn't go any wider than a 9.50 .. i would think as tall as you want depending on lift..... stock height?

Post by: bartolo92 on February 07, 2008, 06:43:12 PM
yeah, we got plenty of walemarts around here! as a matter of fact, 2 weekends ago, chp forced us to buy chains from them because we had to add least carry chains in the car to head up the mountian to go snowboarding! it killed the day because traffic was all built up by the time we got picked up are chains at wallmart....so we ended up snowboarding going home and snowbarding the next morning! lol

your cousin can hook it up with some tires?

The problem with Walmart is they refused to put anythig bigger than a 205 on my Tracker, because that's what "their book" says.  I went across the street to NTB and bought a set of Dunlop 225's.  Should have gone 235.

would anyone pose opposition to mounting a 10.50 tire on a stock rim...? I am buying a set of Super Swamper 34/10.50 LTB's and it would save me about 300 bucks to not have to buy rims for them. Would you still only stick with 9.50's? Thanks for the help!!

Here I'm running 32x12.50's on Stock sammy rims 15x5.5

(http://www.reachone.com/bashams/Suzuki/Zuki/ZukiLiftedRight.jpg)

Rubbed really bad at full turn
You should be fine with a 10.50 on a stock rim may rub a little a 34x9.50 may still rub.

The only problem you will run into is if you pop a bead off your tire.  With that thin of a rim sometimes it is a real pain to get the tires to seal back up.  :)
Title: Re: Stock rims, how big of a tire can i go?
Post by: bartolo92 on February 26, 2008, 03:17:01 PM
thats what i am worried about with going that big of a tire, what if it pop out! im screwed!
Title: Re: Stock rims, how big of a tire can i go?
Post by: Drone637 on February 26, 2008, 08:47:26 PM
Just carry a spare.  Then your covered.  :)
Title: Re: Stock rims, how big of a tire can i go?
Post by: bashzuk on February 26, 2008, 08:56:56 PM
I ran them around at 0 psi and did circles and couldn't get them to bust a bead.
but yeah if they did it would be a real pain in the rear.

Post by: kustomklassix on February 26, 2008, 09:11:58 PM
bashzuk, thanks for the pic and info! it helps. for now i'll just mount the tires on my stockera, and get some 15x8's later  ;D
