BIG TIRES!!

[wentz912]

Hey ya'all it is I yet again with a most likely pointless question to which the answer will most likely be painfully obvious... BUT tonight I was up at my buddie's place while he was rotating ht e 33X12.50X15 tires on his 79 yota, and just for the hell of it I borrowed two of them, and slapped em on my truck for a quick peek(keep in mind that my truck is BONE stock) so yeah im thinking that there is absolutley NO way that these tires should fit on my truck ya know.....and then wadda ya see, a pair of big ol BFG MT's sitting under the front end of my lil yota. Now to the question part of all of this, it looked to me like i would be able to pull the tires off, save the notorious bumper ends that curve around the sides of the truck, which definitley would rub with any steering, as well as depleting me of absolutely all of my flex, but what i want to know is if i can pull 33X10.50s(please note the width difference) with just a 2 inch AAL on my truck and not have to do any sort of fender trimming and still have decent flex...The bumper ends wont be a problem for much longer no matter what as they are soon to be replaced by a custom bumper. oh one last thought before i sign off this thing and apologize about the huge thred....just how in the #%*& does a guy get the friggin rear mud flaps off??? i mean, the front ones were easier than a french whore, but the rear ones are as confusing as an intelligent woman, and i have no idea what to do about it any help on any of this will be greatly appreciated and i apologize for this long @$$ thread

I got rid of mine by wheeling they just seem to disappear all by themselves

As far a flexing your tire will move back and forth within the wheel well depending on the position and tire being stuffed. I've got some pics that will help explain this and I will see about posting them here as soon as I can.

As far as the mud flap there should be only three bolts that holds the mud flap hanger to your truck. Two that go to the fender and one that goes to the bottom of the bed.

hey hoodlum? im guessing that your post was about the mud flaps right? anyhow, i need to change the size of the tire that I stated earlier. I've decided that i will most likely not be using 33X10.50s but either 32X11.50's or 32X12.50, depending on the brand...how much will this affect my flex/clearance and such...

muchas gracias senores

Alright this were the best pic I could find for an example. These were taken while the rear left tire was flex up on a ramp w/ 36" swampers and 3" super flex springs from All Pro.

This one shows the tire turned to the left and looks like it will hit the bumper when turned to the right. BUT.. as the tire is turned it actually pushes the tire away from the bumper and just clears it.


Here the tire is in the same potion and looks like theres plenty of space between the tire and fender, but as I mentioned the tire will move back as it turns to the right.


Now here the tire is turned to the left and starts to rub the fender.


Here still turned to the left and as you can see plenty of space between the tire and bumper now.


FYI the axles will move toward the the middle of your TOY when being stuffed into the fender. And as shown here tire will move back and forth depending on the direction it is turned. So just cuz it looks like it may or may not work doesn't mean it will or won't.
