max uncut rim width

[johnmlebel]

whats the max width you can put on a uncut to still be able to tuck in? i want to use my 15x10 with 3.75 bs but know that it is highly unlikely that they will fit. I want to go with 10.5 wide tires

 

[pierr]

I would say that a 6-7" would be ideal;D & 8" & bigger is pushing it w/ 3.75" backspacing... Several old threads about LUBR's on here, check 'em out for good info on lifts/what fits & what hits .Pierr.

 

[johnmlebel]

yeah i did search for lubr but still wanted some more info as the 5 pages were not all that helpful

I have been playing with this for a while and found that a 7" wheel worked best for me. I am running a BFG KM2 255-85-16, which is basically a 33.5"x10.5" They fit well and look good on the wheel. I think you might be able to go with an 8", but i would say no way on a 10".

I run 33x10.5 bfgMT's and they rub the front of the rear wheel opening when wheeling.

i am really trying to find some stock wheels with hubcaps and run some 33x10.5 with as little lift as possible

I found a deal on craigslist for a set of black steel wheels. I wanted 7'' wide and 4'' backspacing, but when I found the deal they were 8'' and 3.5''
I run a 30'' tire on them and they just barely tuck inside the uncut fender. 2'' body lit and a stock HD spring. I dont think you can make a 10'' wheel fit under a luber. Also a 9'' wide tire is best.

The factory steels with a 33 x 9:50 or 10:50 or 31 x 10:50 depending on the lift, fit nice, I wouldn't go any wider than a 7" wheel.

I am running a BFG KM2 255-85-16, which is basically a 33.5"x10.5" They fit well and look good on the wheel.

I agree, this is what I was going to run had I found a set of factory 16" steels. That is the perfect size tire for a 2.5" lift on a EB. The Gateway Buckshot in a p78x15 is very,very close to that size also, thats what I use for my off-road tire.

what size lift are you running? and do you know the BS on the rims?

 

[douglasmiller]

3.5" in the front 2.5" in the rear.

 

[johnmlebel]

so i can do 31x10.5 on a 15x7 rim with just the 1.5-2" leveling springs with a 4" BS right?

>>>>> that website says stock early broncos came with 15x7" rims which is incorrect & it makes no mention of 30x9.50"s which are rub free in all directions on stock height broncos..... stock broncos came with 15x5.5" rims with 16x5" optional in the earlier years........

i'm running 33 x 10.50 bfg muds on stock steel wheels on my lubr w/ 3.5" lift. they tuck up in the fenders nice.

 

[johnmlebel]

i am going away from my lift though. I have a 3.5 deaver soft ride in and am taking it lout and getting rid of my 36" tires. I am going to get a set of 31x10.5 and go back to stock. thanks

Copy Cat that's what I'm doing. I tried quite a few different wheels and found the stock wheels work best. I am going to be swapping over to some factory F150 aluminum 6" wide wheels this summer though.

 

[johnmlebel]

i like the biggest tires with the least amount of lift hence the 36x14.5r15 on my 3.5" lift truck. just getting tired of it and my family doesnt like jumping up into it. It will be nicer on the trails anyway.

 

[stokers]

I have 15x7 wheels with 3.50 back space and 31x10.5 tires. They fit but I did roll the fenders in the rear and adjusted the leading edge of the front fender. I have no lift either. I also have a set of 15x8.5 slot wheels with 4inches of BS that I have been told should fit with the same tire. I'm not sure but I might mount a tire on at least one wheel to take a look.

I have 80s or 90s F150 wheels (factory chrome sawblade type)with 31x10.5x15 tires on my uncut Bronco and they work well. I was told the wheels are 7.5" wide. I have 2" of lift. I'm looking for some of the same vintage Bronco/F150 aluminum factory wheels- I think they should fit the same.
