My 87 has a 4" spring lift. Think I could run these or would it be to tight?

yea i think you can run them,as my 78 k10 has a 4" lift,and its clearing 35" bnfg mud terrains with abseloutly no problem.and those are 34's

morgan71 · 06-25-2009, 04:31 PM

Larry I like those q78's. Are they Bias? I am thinking I am gonna stick with radials as I will be towing a heavy trailer from time to time. I see the have the tsl in a radial 35/10.5/16. They arent cheap though.

I've seen some military based (non-directional) tires here which would fit the bill....

Franz up in grand junction, Colorado built it. He works for kustom coach works, a fantastic VW restoration shop.

Here are some 38X11.00 boggers on a friend of mines mud truck that I work on sometimes.

7.50 -16

**special-K** · 12-03-2011, 07:33 AM

BFG makes 9.50/33-15 Mud Terrains.

rayfinseats · 12-06-2011, 12:41 AM

"My 87 has a 4" spring lift. Think I could run these or would it be to tight?" I have an 83 K10 with no lift and 31x10.5x15's.

**special-K** · 12-06-2011, 07:49 AM

The 9.50/33s? I think they might work with no lift. I knew a guy who had them on stock wheels on a '78 Blazer and I don't think it had any lift. I think they'd look/work great w/4" lift. 12.50/33s work with 4" lift

bakerboys · 12-08-2011, 11:05 PM

Are 37x13.5x17 on 17x9 wheel considered tall and skinny. I wish I could find a wider 17 inch.wheel

Not skinny in my book.... not with a nominal 13.5" section width. I'm running 33-12.50s which are not tall and definitely not skinny.

**special-K** · 12-09-2011, 10:01 AM

I'd say those are borderline on an oversized tall/skinny. Some depends on the tire design. I'll be running 12.50/37s mounted on 8.25" wheels. They are Super Swamper SSRs and I consider them jumbo tall/skinnies. Although they are 12.5" wide tires the tread is less and they are lugs. The first 37s I used to run were 14.50s which were proportionately close to the smaller 12.50/33,although a bit taller than wider of an increase. Figure a 12.50/37 is 4 full inches taller,yet the same width. That tall and skinny proportions to me...just BIG. Similar proportions to a 9.00-16,which is the basis of ta/skinny I've always used. 13.50/37 is starting to blur the line. In the end,when you look at them what do you see? I tall/skinny tire of a wider tire? My tires are wide,but more tall for the width. I wouldn't want a narrower 37.

Some pictures of mine from a few years ago. 11.00x16 Michelin

**Stocker** · 01-07-2013, 04:56 PM

Now there's a look that's all business!

Redcap · 01-07-2013, 05:43 PM

I would love if someone would make 35s in 9.5 or 10.5.

No thanks. I don't like large rims on a 4x4.

ssapach · 01-08-2013, 02:26 AM

Interco used to sell tires like 35x10.5xR16 or 34x9.5xR16.

I used to have a set of 35x10.5 on my 1989 Blazer and they worked great. I loved the look of the tall/skinny tires too.

But that was 5 years ago now, perhaps they don't sell such sizes anymore.....
