tires and wheels

Took some photos yesterday to illustrate the way the 8" wheels and 33 x 10.50 tires look and fit on the piggy. These do not hit anywhere- fit well, with no problems. I have been buying wheels like this from Summmit Racing for years- they're cheap and fit perfectly, correct backspacing so they don't hit the tie rod ends, but still fit inside the wheelwell. In fact I run this same wheel on my orange and white wheeling pig- with 35" Muds on it (see my Avatar).

I have an old receipt from Summit saying this wheel part number is USW-70-5860. These are made by US Wheel. Summit sometimes offers free shipping I have found Summit to be very good to deal with. Price is in the $36 range these days (if my memory is accurate). Summit has several different styles and colors available in a 15 x8 wheel that fits cruisers perfectly.

Before springing over the orange and white pig I ran FJ60 wheels with 33 x 9.50 Muds on it. Perfect tire and wheel for a non lifted truck. For whatever reason the visual difference between the old 33 x 9.50 mud terrains and the 33 x 10.50 is amazing- the 10.50 tire looks more like a 12.50. The 33 x 9.50 give that "skinny tire" look.

It for now hope this helps. Gary S

Man you have a cruiser collection to be proud of. Nice... Is that a 45 in the garage? Or a 40? Either way it looks pretty awesome.
 
Improvements

Been making the new piggy more comfortable and such.........installed a pair of nice plain dark gray Silverado seats recently, and just last evening got my new Tuffy console installed. Looks great and is very comfortable. The Tuffy install allowed me to stuff a nice Pioneer CD player into it- so I could leave the dash unmolested. Can't beat Tuffy consoles in any way shape or form (as long as you can afford one!!!). Will take some photos one of these days. Gary S
