Tire Size Q

[FL Knifemaker]

My 12 year old tires finally gave up :p They still have tread, they're just coming apart from dry rot. I put it off as long as I could but I need tires..............like TODAY!! Lift and big wheels will have to wait until next year :(

What's the biggest, meatiest tires I can fit on my 82 Waggy with no lift and stock rims?? I'll probably go with Goodyear because my neighbor can get me a deal.

Thanks in advance for info!

:fsj: <----<< Looks just like my Waggy but with bigger tires :thumbsup:

31's

Aren't 31s even pushing it a bit at factory height? I know if you have wag sag much you won't want to be hitting it very hard.

I bought my last FSJ with 31"s and a 4" lift.. There was not alot of extra room in those fenders.. I would probably go with something a bit smaller...

After looking and measuring 31's will be **** close. I work at home and drive it very little, that's why I wasn't too worried about the old tires. The body is totally rust free and I don't want to cut or damage anything. If I have to, I'll go smaller.

The Goodyear idea is out. I didn't realize there was as strike. The Goodyear place said it could take more than a week to get tires :confused: I'm probably going with BFG's, I found a reasonable deal on them locally. After looking at it this morning, I can't believe I made it home on the bad tire last night. As I pulled in the driveway one of my hubcaps rolled off from all the vibration :o That was probably the last of my good luck for a while :(

I have 31 x 12.5's on my wagon and they rubbed the front fender in a turn but the truck has a bad case of "wag sag" in the front. I installed a 3" body lift and no more rub.

Mine seems to sag more in the back. I have an early am apointment at the tire store. I'll take some pics of whatever I come back with but I'm hoping to squeeze the 31's on :D

Super Swamper makes a 235 I think..or a 28" something.

The 31" BFG's fit!! If I turn the wheels all the way, they will rub the springs (I think) slightly. Seems like it would do that lifted or not though :confused: Anyway, I'm good to go and I appreciate the help. I'll take a pic tomorrow. It looks good with the meaty tires filling up the wheel wells and it rides better too :thumbsup:

Easy fix. Just adjust the steering stops so that the tires won't turn as far.
