89 MJ Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I dig the tall and skinny look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex06 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I like that a lot. 6.5" lift....did you have to use spacers/adapters for the lug pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KANTANKRUS Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 Thanks Pete! Thanks 89MJ. IMHO, pizza cutter tires look much better under a truck and a non pizza cutter tire is best suited for a XJ type vehicle. Additionally, when I see tires that stick way the F out, past the sheet metal, it reminds me of a RC car... lol! Yes Tex06, spacers/adapters. I purchased them from a heavy equipment shop. No average aftermarket peddler had 2 inch thick, hubcentric spacers/adapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I can't tell you how much I'd rather have 35x10.5 instead of the 33x12.5s. but they didn't exist back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 That’s a great tire size. Less rotating mass = less strain on the axles. They look very nice too. I wish more manufacturers would make that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the actual height of that tire mounted and under the weight of the truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy in Pa Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I like that look too. Are they metric sizes or are they actually called out as a 35-10.50-17 size tire? I have another application where I would like to use these. A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse J Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I might run the same tire size looks super good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Fyi, you can get BFGs in 34x10.5x17s......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Looking around, there are some tires in the 33-35" range that are "skinny". 255/80R17 are about a 33.5x10.0 275/70R17 are about a 32.5x10.8 275/80R17 are about a 35x10.8 285/70R17 are about a 33x11.2 285/75R17 are about a 34.5x11.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KANTANKRUS Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 Pete: go out and fetch you a set of Kenda Klevers ;) ghetdjc320: the axles under my MJ are XJ axles, with 4.56 yukon gears and a Spartan locker out back. I can get you the additional information this evening. And as promised tires are 34 inches tall, underneath the trucks weight! Andy in PA: Actual tire size 35x10.50R17. Jesse J: thank you kindly. Wahoo Steeler: while that is true, it has been my finding, that BFG KO2 tires tread profile, is too flat faced and cause a pickup platformed vehicle to be squirrelly on wet surfaces. BFG KO2's are much better for an SUV platformed vehicle, due to improved and more even weight distribution. derf: indeed there are, I am running 285/75R16's on my 05 TJR.
