hello frank you run 12.50 tyres with no rubbing even when you rear axel is at full articulation ?

do the tyres stick out at all legally

because when i get my next set of tyres i might get some 33 x 12.50s

i will have to get some 15x8" steel rims.

Frank and I have the same setup basically... although I dont know about his wheel offset.

I have 33x12.50's on 15x8.... with a nuetral offset (I asked for this but dont know what I go for sure).

They stick out a good inch or two outside of the fenders.... but they dont rub... even with stock setup. I did have to remove the front mudflaps though.

Hey Deano, yes I have 33x12.5x15" BFG muddies (the old style) on 15x8" steel rims.
I don't have any rubbing at the back or the front (unless I fall into a hole too hard and the front wheels rub on the guard).
I have the 15x8" Steelie brand of wheels the ROH Trac 2 will make the tyres stick out about an inch from the factory flared guards.
The Steelie ones are dead lineball with the factory flares.
Go for it dude.......................

Frank.

What model are you people talking about???????
I run 32 by 14 inch dick cepeks on my 85 paj and they dont rub!!!! Don't even have a body lift. The tyres actually stand 33inches high or slightly more because they are on 15 by 7 rims.
