zjorvis97:
I am looking for a set of either 32 or 33 inch BFG All Terrains. I have 275 on 16 inch rims and i am finding it hard to get 33s for 16 inch rims. If anyone has either a set of 15 inch rims or 32/33 inch tires they want to sell or get rid of please PM me. Thanks

There's a metric number to putting 33s on a 16 inch rim. I can't remember if it's 315/70/16 or 325/75/16. It's something like that and they are the equivalent of 33. I have several friends with TJs on 16 inch rims that run a tire something like that. I used to know where a tire size calculator was on the net to be able to look up the exact size.

zjorvis97:
i have found the metric size, however i am finding them to be more expensive even tho they are the same as a 33 for some reason. I would really like to put the Cherokee Freedom Graphite wheels on my ZJ but i think they were only made in 17s. I like in New London, are there any places that have te cheapest prices that anyone recommends?

calvynandhobbs:
You're right in that for some reason every inch of rim size increases the price of the tire. You'd think to put a 33" tire on a 16" wheel is less rubber rubber than putting a 33" tire on a 15" wheel.

zjorvis97:
yeah go figure. I still have alot that i want to do, tires are next tho. I have either 265 or 275. the only advantage i have is with 5.5 inches of lift i get alot of flex cause its takes that much more to put the tire in the wheel well.
