don't be so soft, buy big steves swampers.
They're a small 34 and even come on rims that have the right offset for you.

I have rims already, but i dont think my axles are strong enough for swampers, nor are they streetable enough for me.
RB zook, no problem

there's some 33x12.5 BFG in the for sale section.
One of the guys in the club runs them on his VIT with only 10mm coil spacers and a little trimming.

I will prob buy 4 new ones (cash is a bit rare at the moment) :(

little trimming?

If strength is an issue for you just remember that even though the swampers may generat more traction they are a lot more flexy so it all even's out.
tyres are always sized wrong
My 32 inch mtr's were really only 31.5, the same goes for the swampers 33.7 (I think)
You should really be buying a numerical size bigger than what you really want.

thats right, a little trimming. he just picked a line just above the inner guard and cut it.
It is actually a very capable vehicle and incredibly stable. Christopher1 would have some pics he could send you.

BFG Muddies are still a great tyre, you would be surprised how good they are.

I have the 33 x 10.50 on my patrol and they are a great tyre. i do about 350km a week on them and they have so far been on for over 15 months and the tread is good. They work well in mud, sand and snow. best of all they fit on a 7" rim. I reckon they are the perfect size for a Suzuki. Nice and tall yet not too wide to stress components
