You would have to call them, there website wont let you select rim size. I have called and talked to them before. They are really nice to deal with.

http://www.sandtiresunlimited.com/sandtire1.html i saw a couple of guys with these when i was out there
you dont really need paddles for glamis if its 4x4 and aired down i run up olds with my old tired 350 in the burb,
stokish trucks do it as well,
Call fullerton sand tire ( they are in garden grove) and be prepaired to spend some money and talk these guys are some of the most knoligable around, alot of those tires listed are for racing or light I>I sand rails and will not hold up to a full size.
you're best bet it to find some worn out bias plys in good sidewall condition and have them buffed and have paddles glued on skattrak does it. alot of the high horsepower guys, prerenners, and truggys , (including roggy gordon) are doing this.
Alot run projects which can be had especially in chula look for a 35 or 33 project bfg they will come out larger oce buffed and paddles installed.
if you are building a hill shotter racer super luight tons of power over a thousand then i would say paddles or a prerunner otherwise you are fine with 4x4 i drive around in 2x in the dunes and get around fine.

Without a crapload of power he'll just dig for China with paddles. On the other hand, that makes for hilarious vid footage.

Just viewing the choices, would paddle tires be harsh on my drivetrain, is it the same as regular tires

Is there someone who has tried with paddle tires on a heavy rig with little hp 
Just wondering BC when I bought boggers the first time everyone said it would just dig down in the sand but it did very good I think
So bring the flames
Now I have bought paddle tires and wheels from a formula offroad rig and going to try them on my big hp (150) lightweight (6600lbs) M1008

I don't think they will work. They work on foff rig because they are relatively light weight and have enough horsepower to spin tires so fast, that they float on sand and water. I guess you'll end up busting those tires, they are nothing more than street slicks with paddles glued to them.
Someone has to try
