33X12.50X15 Kumho

[ANDREW]

Thank m8 that was the reason why i ask, because i run 33'' on the road, and the actaull size when fitted is the same as yours,

yer so much for 33''

[LePaj]

I though I would be gaining alot from the 265/75/16 moving to 285's but no! hardly worth the effort to gain 30mm in diameter, so 15mm lift    the 33x12.5 would give 60mm (diameter) so 30mm (radius) lift which is more like it... but maybe a bit wide at 318mm 

[ANDREW]

go 35

[TinyTim]

Go for a 33 x 10.5 then - if you don't fancy lifting to make way for 35s

... need to run 16's 'cos of the brake calipers

[ANDREW]

whats wrong with them

[TinyTim]

You cant downsize from 16 to 15 inch rims as the calipers foul

That's the reason they changed from 15 - to get bigger calipers

learn something new every day

Bugger.  I was going to swap the wheels over on my two, but it looks like that plans gone out the window

just try it first mate has your's may not have the larger caliper carrier fitted.

right this thing about bigger caliper's is all crap the twin pot caliper is the same size as the one fitted to truck's with 15" wheel's the only difference is the actual carrier that the caliper bolt's onto this can be swapped for the smaller carrier to accomodate 15"rim's provided it does not have the larger disc's fitted then that is still not a problem a pair of front hub's with the disc's from a truck with 15" rim's will replace the larger one's with no mod's needed it's a straight swap as me and joker had to do this to his j-top to accomodate 15" rim's as the j-top has the larger carrier and bigger disc's as they come with 18" rim's as standard.

@ bubble the truck look's absolutly spot on mate but i would definatly do a body lift on it now.

[TinyTim]

Yes I forgot to say that - there's nothing to stop you changing back to accommodate smaller discs / caliper brackets etc but you need to be aware this may be necessary and its perhaps not a simple wheel swap

I bought mine with it's 15" wheels with 33 x 12.5 x 15 MT's on and then also bought a set of 16" with road tyres as I was soing a lot of miles.... used to swap these over every weekend, had no probs with brakes, etc....it was all good! I now stick with the 15" wheels with 33 x 12.5 x 15 MT's as my mileage is down to less than 5000 per yr   -  all this is prob not relevant, but I just wanted to say

looks good i like the KL71 pattern tyre i will replace mine with them when they wear out , i have the older Khumo MT pattern tyres which work very well in mud
