Hello guys,

I need your experience again....

I was thinking of getting a wider and a bit smaller tyres instead off the 35"/12,5-15 M/T's Claw's which I have now.
These are on 15x10 6-lug rims.
The blazer is lifted 6" and has a 2" body lift.

Because I mostly drive on the road I want more "street worthy" tyre's.
Less tyre noise and rumble etc...but the agresive look.
And a bit size smaller because I have the org. axle's and gears so you lose a lot of low end torque and the transmision is always to low in gear for OD on the highway.

I was thinking off 33x14,5x15 M/T Baja's...:rolleyes:

But I don't think these will fit on the 15x10 rims..go for 15x12?:dunno:
And do they fit on the frontaxle... without cutting fenders..or rubbing??
Can the org. rear axle handle these wider tyres (with 2" spacers)?
What is another good alternative street tyre/your experience?

Any comments are welcome...
 
well a 12.50 wide tire needs about an 8 inch rim. im sure the 14 will be fine on a 10 inch rim.
 
I'm looking for pic's on internet for the 33x14.5x15 15x10 underneath a lifted blazer but these are pretty hard to find...:doah:

Does anybody have pic's of this combination how it looks?
 
yer overthinkin all of this

you can run 12.5's on an 8" rim, but i would never run an 8" rim

ive run 10" rims with 12.5's, 13.5's, 14.5's, 15's, and 16's b4.

sounds funny but yea i have run many a super swamper:whistle:

it will look/perform fine
 
Thanks for your reply.

There are not many manufactures who make these size tyre's.
So far only found the M/T's and TSL but these don't meantion these sizes on there site's..
I tought they were also avaible for BF Mud terrain's?
You know any site's who offer this size tyre??

It's pretty hard to find any of these tyre's in NL.... because they all drive in a Fiat 500 or a Toyota Prius over here....:doah:not my style!
