Gotta find good wide tires now lol...looking towards mickeys or maybe swampers

Do yourself.a.huuuge favor and just get Mickeys. Im on my fourth set and I wont.***k with bf notsogoodrich or toyo or any other **** again! Goodyear duratracs are nice.but they arent mickeys.either.

My 37"baja claws have 22k maybe closer to.25k.and.they have almost all the tread yet. I dont.even believe it. The set of.baja belteds(ugly ***kers) I ran got.45k out.of.them(that mileage.is according to the truck odometer) They were 39.5x15.5r16s. On a.6" lift.no less.

That's impressive!! Grew up with Swampers and Mickey's so that's why I figured it would be good to go either way but I like the way Mickey's hold up on the street better....I was thinking if I didn't go super tall I could run some MTZ 36x15.50s if I could find the wheels I want...wish I had more than just one choice for 20x14s lol would 15.50s be okay on a 10" wheel up front?

Can't seem to find an adapter to go from 8x200 to 8x170. If anyone knows where to get one let me know. I am wanting to run the fuel hostages I think since those are one of my only options for 20x14 for the rears..however they only offer a 20x12 to use up front. Really wish I could find a wheel that offers a 20x14 and 20x10....Or something in a different width with a real negative offset. I know the fuels are -76 or so and it would need to be something similar as I don't want them sticking out a ton

Yeah i just looked my self. I have seen 8x170 to 8x6.5 adapter/spacers. Figured they would have them for the 8x200s also. I think I read this on this threat the other day, BUT you could get a set of 22.5 super singles and have them shaved down to 22s. I doubt that is cost effective, and may not even be the route you want to go, but it is another option. I am trying to piece together a package right now for my OBS, but I dont plan to shave them. I found a place to get new tires for 400, steel 5 hole 10 lug rims for 600, but those dang adapters are impossible to find for less then 700. I am battleing it out on ebay right now. And that fight I am sure I will loose. lol

I suppose I could go to semi wheels I'm not entirely opposed to it other than the price. That's my main thing...for roughly $1300 not counting adapters I could have the wheels I want...add a few hundred for adapters (if they exist) and then tires. I think it would be great compared to most prices of nicer big wheels out there.
