[Rub]

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the newbie question. What size wheel do I need to fit these tires?

http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/want-sell/60369-5-bfg-all-terrains-only-400-street-miles.html

I am interested in the Dick Cepek DC-1's.

Would you recommend a different tire for these wheels? I do light/moderate off road.

Thanks for the help!!

16x7.5 i would assume. that is the stock 16 inch wheel size.

Correcto! Though 16X8 will do as well.

Great! Thanks for the info! Anyone think I should get different tires?

thanks!

this would be up to you and your wallet. but IMO, the BFG's are a great tire. they should suit you well for your off roading pleasure. but again, it is entirely up to you.

If your running mud often I would go with a different set of tires. However, any other type of wheeling they do well. The price on those bfg's is a great price. U will love the DC-1's they look great especially in person. I think the BFG's are recommended for a 7-8.5 inch wheel. The DC'1s are 16x8's which will be fine for that tire. Are you getting the polished or black?

I was thinking polished but I really like the black too. I also really like this setup:

WHeels:
Panther EMR 440
17x9" 4.5" backspacing

Tires:
33x12.50R17
Mickey THompson Baja Claws

I assume that this needs a lift and a body mount chop. Am i right?

With a 9 inch rim and that width of tire you will need the chop. Is this the panther wheel:

Nice Rig!!

So I need the chop. What about a lift? Can I get away without one?

 

[NBFJCruz]

No lift or chop required to run the 265's on a 16x8 wheel.....

It's all going to depend on the wheel and the tire you choose. If you choose a 16x8 wheel and a stock size tire then no chop and no lift. However, if you go to a 17x9 and a bigger tire you will need the chop and lift.

It is OFRD_GRL's Rig.

I likey

A more recessed wheel is going to cause less damage to the wheel on the trail. So, the dc's or the panther wheels would both be good choices.

I run the 285/75/r16 on 16x8 TRD wheels with no body chop, and hardly ever rubs even on the trails. The only time it rubs is if I turn the steering all the way and have the tire all the way into the fender, even then it barely touches the body mount.

Like I said.
