- Start date
Wanting to keep the 38.5 TSL SX lasting a while , I so found some 16.5x8.25 steelies for my BFG 37s for on road use.
I love it @oakknight
TY Greg. I like the way they sit on the 8.25s.. found a 5th for a spare , at powder coating now.
Are those 16x8 wheels or 16x10?
That's a great looking setup. If looks mean anything a disc brake conversion would look great on that axle with those wheels.
I really do like the stance

How do those mud grappler do on the freeway? What about the noise?
Like an airplane lol, they howl. They do decent, I have no balancing on them and they were used with really bad cupping. Over all not bad.
I'm currently on super swamper irok radials I'm looking for a really aggressive looking replacement. I wonder how these compair to the iroks as far as sound and ride.
I want smooth on the freeway.
I don't know that I will be able to hear them over my exhaust lol. Basically straight piped big block
Has anyone ever heard of these tires?

I like them because they look kind of vintage, but are new. I'm wanting to put tires on my truck that have a vintage look.
Anyone know of any other vintage looking tires in the 235/85/16 size? How about in the LT 9.50/R16.5 size?
I've got a full set (6 wheels) of 16.5" steel wheels and a set (5 wheels, need one more) of 16" steel wheels. Were there different widths of wheel, or would they be the same width (for their respective sizes)?
This is for my Suburban which will be a camping/expedition type rig when "finished."

39.5 tsl's old pic but has 44 boggers now and d60+d70hd 6" lift, 64 rear springs 7" shackles
6" superlift up front and rear is unknown... 56" leafs that from eye to eye measured to bottom of pack is 9.5". Rear sits 2" lower than front.. going to do a 4" shackle flip and 8" front leafs and more fender trimming... keep popping bushwackers off the front...
40x17x16.5 ground hawgs on 16.5x12 rims - hoping for 39.5 boggers on 12 bolt hummer rims eventually...
I broke my rotor - due to xfer case drop put dizzy on the firewall. think cab moved a bit forward and rotor hit cap and broke. glad I did due to I found out that another 5' and a truck on 54's swamped itself there. I was standing there and moved my body back on drivers side a few feet and it was getting deeper and deeper.. was stuck for 5h and 3 trucks to get out since I wasn't running and I was suction cupped in the peanut butter mud

I wouldn't do 8" springs. Look into getting longer shackles first. Cheaper too. Nice truck! Don' see many with an outer snorkel6" superlift up front and rear is unknown... 56" leafs that from eye to eye measured to bottom of pack is 9.5".
