My wheels arrived.

[Explosive]

Oh, the whole 34x10.5, I was planning on running something 12.5 wide, I'd have to get different wheels to run 10.5's correct ?

I'm not sure... I don't remember what width rims you got, they should fit 8" rims fine, but they might not fit 10" rims very well.

I was kinda just throwing that out there as something to look into.

What do you guys know about goodyear mtrs ?

If it's only gonna be for wheeling, I'd look for a set of 34" Swamper LTB tires, they dig real good and are only 10.5" wide like a 31" tire. My one buddy has a set on his Yeep and I've been impressed.

Yep, for wheelin', the LTB is an excellent tire!!! I am assuming those are 15x10 wheels.....correct? If it were me, I would try for the Super Swamper LTBs & I would go with the bias ply.....size 33x13.50!!

I ran brand new ones for a while until I had to sell 'em for need of money. They have giant lugs, look cool as hell, & dig like a mole. From my experience, I do not recommend them for driving on the highway very far, but other than that..........

I'm not sure if a 13.50 will fit though, I've got 15X10's with 4" of backspacing.

13.50 might or might not rub at full lock (steering) or full stuff....

Combs Customs ran some 33x14 Boggers on 15" rims on his Bronco II, not sure if he really had any rubbing issues or not, he just had a 3" body lift and I think a fender trim if memory serves me correctly

I'd hate to order tires, mount them and find out they rub and then be stuck with them since you mount'em you own them. And can someone better explain bias tires to me ? I don't get the flatspotting. The truck won't move everyday, so am I gonna ruin the tires right away by letting it sit ?

Bias tires are a different design than radials. In radials the "grain" if you will runs with the tread, but in bias tires, the "grain" goes back and forth across the tread which strengthens the entire tire instead of just the tread area. (or something to that general effect).

Bias tires flat-spot relatively easily, but unless it's really cold, they'll round back out pretty quick. I have bias tires on my choptop right now and usually by the time I make it to the end of the road (less than a half mile), they've usually rounded back out unless it's really cold, then it might take a mile or so of thumpity-thump driving to round 'em out.

Hmmm, now I gotta figure out if they will fit...
