TJ's tire thread

No that 13.5 would look good IMO. What tire is that? With your 9-in wide wheel it would be perfect.
And I second what @Truckman4life said, the Toyo MT's are stupid heavy.

 

[TJ1978]

I was looking on Coopers site and for the 12.5 and 13.5 width tire they recommended wheel width at 8.5-11.

The Cooper SST pro at 37x13.5x17 is about $200 cheaper. But will it balloon more and or rub anything?

 

[cheavyk10]

It might balloon a little you just run less air pressure in it.
I run 10 in wide rims that are recommended for my 14.50s Toyo's, for comparison sake

 

[TJ1978]

.that 12.5 sst pro looks as wide as the 13.5

 

[Chickntrk]

IMO wouldn’t look much different but I might go with a 17x9 for that

I have 17x9 already. I just don't want donuts going with 13.5 opposed to 12.5 that I have now and look fine

Looking at that heep photo, I think the sst 12.5 will appear fatter

 

[TJ1978]

Ugh.... I'll go with the 12.5. Until I wake tomorrow and start second guessing that. Plus it will save some weight that my SBC 350 won't have to try to get rolling.

I really like my toyo ridge graplers.

 

[cheavyk10]

For a while there I was swapping tires every year, at least you get some money back and you get to try out something else.
This time around I got my Toyo's from a guy on OfferUp, brand new never used, they've been sitting in the guys garage for a year mounted on some 15x14 Wheels. I got them for $1, 200. Then I sold my 35-in general grabbers for $500 and sold those other rims for $300.
Brand new the toyos are $335.

 

[Truckman4life]

Your supposed to be within 4" of tire width on rim width so the 9" wide will be perfect for either. I'm way off at 7" wide with a 12.5" tire but I plan on eventually doing weld on beadlocks or going to 17" wheels. Mine aren't ballooned either. They just look skinnier.

On the other hand my dually with 295/75R16 tires on 6" wide rims are definitely ballooned due to a shorter sidewall.

Size and pics?

 

[TJ1978]

Both 12.5 and 13.5 will work no problem on 17x9 wheel. The only really big difference is the weight and the 13.5 are about $200 cheaper.

If the 13.5 will not rub anything while turning or whatever, they aren't ruled out .The only reviews I can find in comparison are on Jeep websites. So I don't know if their rubbing issues would even occur on my Blazer

That 13.5 looks really good.

I can get you a pic of my 35x12.50 STT pros tonight when I get home

man that looks amazing.. Any rubbing issues? That's a 4"
lift?


Pictures help so much. The only place with pictures for reference are jeep forums. Thanks for posting that

You're on 37s now rite? You could do a little recon() about rubbing by turning full lock and checking clearances

No rubbing now, finders are all hacked anyway from a previous owner. But I'll go check to see if 1 more inch will make a difference

I really truthfully don't know how much lift this is. I think it's closer to 8. Full fenders, no cutting anywhere though. I can get more pics tonight.
