ISO 33x12.5 for my wj
« on: October 13, 2016, 02:05:36 PM »
I'm looking for a set of 33s for the wj project I've got. Just for winter tires, so I can save up for some good tires for next season

I have a set of 235/85R16s, I think that's a 32" in metric.  One tire is worn un evenly do to my old crappy TTB front suspension but the rest are around 85-90%.  $200 for the set.

Interested, I'll have to buy new rims, how common are 16s? I really don't know, however I do know my 17s are not common

I have always wondered how well those soft snow tires like the Bridgstone Blizzacks and Firestone Winterforce's would do on the rocks. Figuring they would do well since there so soft.

17s are the new 15s nowadays days. 16s are around but won't be in the long run

Interesting, it's weird to think back in the early 2000s they were odd balls now they are becoming common, my issue with my stock rims are they aren't to wide.

Wide is in rim width or backspacing?

The stock rims are 17x7.5 with 6.25 back spacing and are 5x5 apparently, so I'd say my back spacing is fucked with these haha
