Does anyone have any pics of their rig with stock rubicon wheels on 35" tires?

 

Can you safely mount a tire that big on wheels 7.5" wide? I know BF Goodrich doesn't recommend it. Do other tire manufactures allow that narrow of rim for their tires?

 

Thanks for the advice I should probably look at some Walker Even wheels.

 

People doing it a lot and being safe are two different things. I suppose if you are going with a narrow tire it's OK, but I can't find a single tire manufacturer recommends a 7.5" wheel with anything much over 33" and 10.5" wide. If anyone knows of a tire that really fits (the manufacturer says it's OK) please let us know! I'd like to see the specs!

 

ditto...I would also like to see that

 

Valid points. I'm curios as to how the tire behaves when aired down too.

 

Super Swamper SSR's come in 35x 10.50 x17

 

Here's mine on 315/70-17's:

And here it is on 37x12.50-17's:

They don't wear as evenly on a narrow rim (more wear on the center of the tread), but it can be done without any major problems. Usually people just run a little lower air pressure (@ 28 psi) to get a "flatter" footprint. Lower air pressures causes a slight loss of fuel mileage and a bit more tire roll when cornering. Good luck with your decision.

 

no issues

 

I had 35" cooper sst's on stack rubi wheels with 1" spacers
and the only issue was with the drivers side brake line. It did rub
in a rut and off canter almost rubbed the line off. The line
runs on the wheel side of the frame there. Peter
