What size muddies

[UAV]

im going to be buying some new muddies soon and was wondering what size i can fit without a lift i was thinking 31x10.5 but i was hoping 32x10.5. and to if i was to get a lift apart from winding up the torsion bars up front what do i need for the back, cause i just put new springs in or do i need new shocks aswell,

sorry its a 1989 NG pajero 4dr 3.0v6

hey mate i have a 89 pajero and i have bfg mudders 33x10.5 and i havent got a suspention lift or a body lift and they only rub just slightly when on full lock if thats any help to you

[UAV]

thanks, ive been doing a bit of searching and i might just wind up my torsion bars and get some GQ rear springs off a mate and hopefully all this should give me a 1 1/2 - 2 in lift and then i should be able to fit 32in mtr but ill probably only go 10.5 insted of 11.5.

If your going 32x10.5 on your standard 15x7 rims you should have no problems.
I have 32x11.5 on a set of 15x8 navara off set rims, and I get very,very minor rubbing on the inside of the guard when at full lock and full compression.

I don't want to seem stupid, but the tyre sizes of 32" and 33" seem to bo to the 11.5" section width.

I'm looking into doing new tyres for my shorty and was wanting to go 32" to 33" but I'm not to keen on the wider section of the tyres.

Fitting to standard paj rims.These rims are 8" wide are they not.( 92 SWB)

Cheers John

hey johnyswb,

dude im pretty sure ull find that most standard rims on the jabbers, well nh/nj im pretty sure are 15x7JJ, thats 7" wide, not 8". dont quote that, im pretty sure, maybe someone else shall be able to help, but either way it should be pressed onto the inside of the rim somehwere, sometimes even the outside. as far as 33s on 7"s, heaps say dont, heaps say do, i dunno, theyre meant to go on 8"-10" rim, but when i get back from going away, if i havent found a set of 15x8s ill be fitting them on the 7"s. some might not even fit them to 7s, but the thing is ull have more roll in the sidewalls on skinnier rims and the sidewalls will be more prone to punctures when wheeling, hope this helps,

hey johnyswb,

fitting them on the 7"s. some might not even fit them to 7s,

just tell the tire fitter that they are going on a buggy. Or go to "honest joe's discount tires" chances are they wont even care, espically if you pay cash and dont want a receipt

but from what i understand, most gen 1 / 2 jabbers came with either 15x7 or 16x6. i think ( i'v got a set of 16 x 6 off a nh in the garage )

[klrevo]

a buggy with 33s, WHOAH!!! settle down dan, next ull be thinkin of SAS yeh most wont care and iv asked heaps and i plan on going 33s on 7s, but there is some who wont do it

am sure you can fit 32 without a lift. 33s you will need to get a suspension lift and some new rims to avois rubbing. please correct me if im wrong.

You will need a body lift if you want no rubbing for 33" tires

i has suspension lift, got 2.5 iron man coils at the back and crank the torsion bar to swallow those 33in AT. plus i got 5 sets of 15x8 rims. no more rubbing.

[KCboy]

i also change my shocks to compensate for the lift. i got rancho rs5000 for those.

[j-top paj]

i got 32s on mine and its standard height. no rubbing at all. i am hoping on running 35s after i do a lift on it soon. il see how i go
