2) Side by side of the current Klogger tire and new ones
3) Here is a pic of the tread, pretty good
And finally, Karl's House of Tires! You want 14's, 15's, 16's 16.5's, we got em. You want 5 lug on 4.75, 5 on 5, 5 on 5.5, 8 lug, we got em!
Remember our motto "The only person with more used tires in Crosby is Frick!"
then that front axle does this...

Karl you are in-correct you now have more tires than me. All if have left is the 35's i bought from you, 1 bogger spare, and 1 31 spare. I started to sell my tire collection when they got wet and started to breed in my back barn.Quote:

Yes, 16.5". I also have sets of 35s, 36s, and 38s for the same size rims though not in my backyard.
check the sidewalls first:flipoff2::gigem:Quote:

You may be able to fit a 15" w/ some grinding on the calipers.
15 inch wheels will work on a ford 60 if you get 2.75 back spacing,with little to no grinding. You can run 3 but you will have to do some grinding.
Knoeller made a 1986 bronco with a D60 and ran 15" wheels, the thread is here, but all the pictures are gone. About a year ago we parted the truck, I have his 60 and his wheels. From what I gather it took a lot of grinding to get 15's to work. I would suggest 16's or larger.
16s might cost more but I think they stay on the bead better than 15s, and way better than 16.5s.
that said, if I could swing 15" wheels for the rover I'd go that route. wheels almost pay for themselves with the price difference.
Before going out and dropping the coin on a set of rims I would first consider your long term plans for the build, especially what tires you want to eventually run. Like everyone has stated, 15's and a 60 require caliper grinding which I would avoid. I chose to run 16's because I already had tires but in hindsight I wish I would have sold the tires and bought 17's. That would have given me more choices as far as tires go such as the BFG KM2's, Krawler's, etc...
I've got 15's on my 609 with no grinding.
rear 60's use different setups compared to front 60'sQuote:

don't all aftermarket rear disk 60 setups use 44 calipers/rotors?
then how was your comment relevant?Quote:

Yea, they use the 44 stuff. I think 15s fit with the drums, and d60 drums aren't so huge like a 14 bolt.
Just get a set of 16.5" wheels like I have, or hummer wheels, recentered if you like. You have the full range of TSLs to choose from, and no reason to buy anything else. If you are not manly enough for TSLs, don't worry, that's what IROKs are for.
yeah 15s are easy to run on almost any axle but when you step up to larger tires you get alot of sidewall flex and esp the tires try to roll over on themselves at low pressures when trying to turn.
i would go w/ 17s from the get go if I had the choice. that is what my next set of wheels will be
so how long until folks are saying "i have 17s, but if I could do it over I would just go ahead and run 20s"
PS - Kopecki speaks the truth.
Thanks for the info, but I have about 3 TTB's sitting behind my house...
