Tires!
Ok Guys, Haven't been on here for quite some time but I need some advice and the forum has always helped.
My 99 D currently rides on 33x10.5x15 BF AT and they are ready to be replaced.
I've purchased new wheels from Summit. Pro Comps with a 4.5 backspace because I want to go to a thicker tire. My question is as follows:
Should I do a 32x11.5x15 MT or a 33x12.5x15?
Here are my thoughts on this:
I think both sizes would probably look about the same on the D. The 33's I have now are worn and are about the same size 32's would be. She still looks good. I'm a little more concered about being able to save a little on gas. I only use the D for hunting, fishing and surfing, but when I go, I go! Traveling a couple hunderd miles both ways some times.
So what are your thoughts???
Thanks and look forward to some good advice.

I thought the off set rims would push the wheel and tire out farther and reduce rubbing.

Your rubbing on the body. Mine was the firewall area and valance. The 12.5 and off set rims are just too wide. Stick with the narrower tire or just get the proper lift. Expect $2000 for lift installed if you can still get it the guys who did my lift can't get ahold of tiff country. With all the problems I have had I would have saved money on sas.

I'm more concered about the difference in running the two tire sizes. Should I consider the smaller 32x11.5 as oppose to 33x12.5.
Is anybody running 32x11.5???
Thanks,
