found some 35x15-15 swamper tsl's for $200 with lots of tread still left. i think it a good buy but im debating on if i should get them or not because of the width. im running 35x12.5-16 BFG AT and just barely clear that. anybody have advice as to how i could get them to fit and if so would it even be worth it or should the 200 on somethin else?

Well are you getting them with the 15 inch rims too? 15 inch tire is not going to mount on your current 16 inch wheels. If so thats great you can have a trail set and everyday driving set. 35x15.50x15's are awesome tires for trail use but are terrible on a daily driver. Wear fast, heavy and don't balance well.

Here some 15x8 rims with 3.5'' BS on LA 4x4, the guy told me $100 for the rims a week ago.15" rims off chevy z71 - Louisiana Off-Roader's Forum
15'' wide tires will track pretty good on La roads, I know from my 14'' wide old ones.

Thats a deal you'll have $300 in all for a trail set

those are nice but would a tire that wide fit on these rims? im gonna use them as a trail set and keep the BFG's as a street set

I had my 35x15.50 mounted on a 15x10 inch rim, I didn't think about that 8 inch width. They may and just baloon out. I've seen the 14.50's mounted on a 8 inch rim ok. Maybe John can chime in if he's mounted that wide of a tire on a 8 inch wide rim.

 

[GOT@TACO]

Yes i hear of tires baloon out he needs a bigger rim .

My code read PO 135. Something about an O2 sensor. Just time to change? The old dude at Autozone started griping at me about buying Raceway gas but I buy my gas at Shell.

Thoughts?

How many do the 100's have? My 80 has the same problem but I figured it would take about 7,000 miles before I could get my money back on changing them for better gas mileage and figured I would just deplete the earths fossil fuels for the time being. Oh, and help Louisiana's oil and gas industry as well.

No snorkeled FJ's in the club yet No negatives I've found unless you count the 100's of questions you'll get asked.

Its just one hole on the 80's as well but you do have about 6 or 7 holes to drill for the studs that hold it. The Safari ones come with a good template.
