can you mount up a 13.50 wide tire on a stock 17" moab wheel? or will it come poppin off quicker then it went on? I really like my stock wheels and the tires i want are 13.50 wide. thanx

Not being a tire guy anymore, FWIW the stock rim is 7.5" I believe. While the tire may go on there, and even have a pretty decent bead for reduced tire pressure, your going to get a pretty rounded tire tread out of the deal. You could probably get away with a 12.5, but that extra inch may be too much. One of the more knowledgable guys could probably provide some better insight. My 2 c anyway.

 

sorry, i guess that would be of some importants to have actually listed the tire. ............ 36x13.50/17 IROKS. I was gonna go with the 37x12.50 because it was only .1 of an inch bigger but its a radial. the bias looks more beefy and its alot lighter at only 66lbs. Thanx

There are people running those on 7" rims...but that's about the limit....with a 7.5" STOCK rim, you'd need 1.5" wheel spacer's to clear inboard components. and maybe a litttle adjustment to the turn stop bolts, as the taller tire swings in a larger arc as well, etc.

You will need to chalk test them to arrive at optimum road and trail pressures...the Bias IROKS are not street tires, so do not have high expectations for handling, etc...they are Squirrelly.

 

cool, thank you for the help. as long as there no worse then the LTB's i ran on my TJ then we should be ok. how would you compare the IROK to the LTB on road?

Is a 3 legged pig race.



I like the LTB's better over all, esp considering the price and more aggressive lugs.
