I Like Tires
Good looking tires! How much lift and what width rims you running?
A guy just came in our store and ordered 365/75/16 BFK KM2s ~38/14.50/16 but he only has 8.5" rims so it's gonna be interesting to see if that bead will seat. My bet is not.

9in lift in front 10 in back, BDS! plan on doing an iron bull up front so wont rub at full lock and i can still wheel and flex with no rub! im planning on black rhinos 18s that are a 9in width with a -12 offset! iv seen it done before but itll be a bit*h for that guy! i was told they would seat because its an 18 (not a hell of alot of sidewall, but enough) wouldnt of tried it on 18s but my 4 buddies that work at discount tire said itll work out! and then i plan to fender trim no madder what ahaha go big or go home right! and yeah ahaha got trash bags and cardboard between em! ill baby em till they go on (i just look at it like babying the $1800 i just busted my as* to spend) but once they are on its rock time! not a street queen by any means! iv sheered the bolts right off my skid plate before (not on purpose but had to get down the cliff)! dang those iroks are light considering, mine came in at 97lbs each! good luck going 80+mph with those c rated iroks though! thats the reason i went with the 38s an not 40s! want to still be useful when need be! an still have top end speeds without a death wobble

Think they will wobble bad? And damn bro you got a really good deal on those! Are they 13.50 wide or 15.50? For me it's either those toyo 38 or Mickey Thompson mt 38 or irok I just like the weight deal and they look beast!

k225 yeah man if you plan on going over 70 be ready for a roller coster ride! toyos are seriously legit they are still 8ply and rated to 3580lbs a tire max payload! thats a tough as* tire right there! the other reason i didnt go with the 40s was because they were 6 ply! they(all toyos) also already have water sipes cut into em... which smampers dont, basically i assume your not 100% offroad all the time, so eventually your going to be on the street when its pouring rain and then you will be even worse off, they wouldnt displace water to save your life! i had a buddy with swampers who literally couldnt go over 35mph when wet for fear that hed end up in a ditch upside down (then again i live in the hill country)! i wouldnt worry about the weight of the tire as long as gears (4.88 or higher) are in the picture... which they should be for your trans sake! i would rather have a thicker heavier tire than a lighter one! iv seen some crazy stuff, like a deer antler laying in the mud go through a tire (through tred and sidewall.. these were super swampers)! and i am not changing my 135lbs tires an wheels out in a mud hole! ---- Durbs heck yeah bro cant wait to get it built and down there!
