I need to replace the 35x14.5 Super Swamper Boggers that were on my 75 k5 blazer. I need help figuring out what I size I can put on them (1) and where to get rims (black wagon wheel style preferred) (2)

I have 4 cheap retreads on the truck now until I can replace them, but they are on 15 inch rims. Super Swamper's Amazon site says all these will fit my truck

Can someone explain the non metric sizes and what would fit on my truck? I had 14.5 tires on it but now 15. Although I dont really understand what that means
All the online articles I can find explaining tire sizes are for metric. Imperial / non metric tire sizes don't tell the same information, do they?


I ordered the first set from a now extinct email address and cant find who I bought them from but I bought black wagon wheel rims with them from the same online store at the time. I think it was because the rims I had on it didnt fit.

Through researching here it looks like amazon is as good a place as any to buy Super Swamper Bogger. and I have amazon prime so shipping is free on those.

But I dont understand the sizes or what mine will or won't take. WHen I bought them last I was able to email them and figure what size rims I needed.


The Super Swamper company on amazon has their site so you can look for tires that just fit your vehicle and then narrow that down to free shipping / prime, so that is nice, but I cant figure out how to order or if they even have rims there.

The truck has stock dana 44 but I considering 37s or 38s on them. It will rarely if ever it leaves my farm (29 acres of mostly hilly woods.) I wont be doing any rock crawling or much mudding (none recreational). I just need clearance and big wide tires to go over cut tree stumps, travel over bad roads (washed out etc)
