Tires question for CJ7

[taquito971@yahoo.com]

Anybody have a picture of what a 33-9.5 or 33-10.5 wide tire would look like on a lifted CJ7? I've got 33-12.50s on there now but I think a narrower tire might look better and be easier on the drive train.

Any thoughts?

Sorry, no pics, but I'll tell you that they would look and perform AWESOME Somewhere on my Home comp. I belive I have a pic of our very own Dakarti Ed's FJ40 on either 10.50 or 9.50 (33's) I know it's not a CJ7 exactly but it is a similar vehicle (I can't belive I just said that...) and it LOOKS SO AWESOME. I'm a big beliver in Skinny Tires... ever since I was in Australia and ran around in teh nasty nasty on some 37ish 8.00 NDT military "farm tires" and saw what skinny tires do that Big Wide tires just can't... Well, it made me a beliver.

Cheers

Thanks Dave. I guess I'm just worried that I'm used to looking at it with the 12.50s and that it would look funny without them. I'll keep hunting for a picture while my tires continue to dryrot in the parking lot, just so I can ease my mind.

A lot will depend on the offset of your wheels wrt to looks.

I've run 9.5s in the past. I'd go 10.5s.

Good point on the offset. I'll have to measure that and report back.
